hi guys =]

is there a way to make a ProgressBar (in VB) with the Marquee effect?

like this:

code:

---

<Control xsi:type="ProgressControl" Id="...">
    <Position Top="40" Width="100" Left="10"/>
    <Marquee/>
</Control>

---

in C# i just change the style (Style=Marquee) but i need the same in VB. can you help me?

thanks for any answer

First off, which version of VB are you using?

I have VB6 and VB 2005 Express and in 2005 there is just an option for it in the progressbar properties.

For VB6, the only way I know of doing it is by sending a new GWL_STYLE message to the progressbar using the SendMessage API, however it will only work correctly if your VB application has the XP style enabled (using a manifest) and you are using version 6 of comctl32.

MSDN info about progressbar Styles (it seems down atm, but I was on that page earlier, dunno whats up..)

Hope this helps
