Controlling the Progress Bar in Project

[Evan S. Dictor]

I would like to make use of the progress bar that sometimes appears in Microsoft Project through the object model (from VB in my case). Does anyone know of a way to do so?

Create a form and put a progress bar on it (call it ProgressBar1)

In the long loop you are showing progress put code like this

for lngTrial = 1 to NumberOfTrials

' increment and update progress bar
'
lngProgress = lngTrial * 100 / NumberOfTrials ' this makes a "%
complete"
frmProgressBar.ProgressBar1.Value = lngProgress ' update the progress
bar

next lngTrial

Good Luck,
Mark

I probably didn't word that correctly :

I'm trying to control the actual Microsoft Project progress bar that sometimes appears on the status bar at the bottom of the application. I'm trying to avoid popping up a new form

Oh - I see I may be able to help but I'd like to know more. Why do you
wish to prevent the progress bar from showing?

I don't want to stop it from appearing, I want to cause it to appear on my own. I just don't want to add a form with a progress bar when there's a perfectly good one in Project already ;-
