Example that shows how to set up a simple Progress Bar
API Declarations
Dim MaxNum As Integer
VBcoders
'You will be able to change the max value for the progress bar
'at runtime instead of just setting a value.
'This is one of the easiest things you can do with VB but
'its potential is great for user friendlyness.

'start a new standard project
'add a command button (command1)
'add a text box (text1)
'add a label (label1)
'add a progress bar (pgb1)
'add a timer (timer1)
'Then add this code to the form
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = True 'activates the timer
maxNum = Text1.Text
pgb1.Max = maxNum 'Sets the max value of the progress bar
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
intnum = 0 'initializes the number at 0
Timer1.Enabled = False 'deactives the timer until told otherwise
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If intnum < maxNum Then 'checks to see current count of text
intnum = intnum + 1
Label1.Caption = intnum & " Of" & " " & maxNum
pgb1.Value = intnum 'increases count on progress bar
End If
End Sub
'then run it, it will no do anything until you enter
'a value into the text box and hit enter
