GUI Progress Bar
Looking for information on how to create a Progress Bar in a Win32 App. Have been googling for 2 days now and from what I can tell, a vast majority of the info I have found is for use with Visual C++..
 Actually about 90% of the info from any search I have done is. Almost making think about getting a visual compiler. I want it to be toward the middle of the window preferably, not in a status bar at the bottom. Are there any resources that yout guys have come across that could be usefull? I am converting a console program that I created to a GUI. I thought it would be nice to give the end user a graphical assurance that the program is infact working. My program goes into a directory and deletes place holder files that can get left behind if the program crashes, if the server crashes, etc. There are five files, and would like to create a stepping progress bar that steps after each file is deleted. Thanks, -BB98 |

Just as a side note, isn't there a patent on the idea of a 'progress bar'?

 Would seem kinda silly to me. Every installation I have ever run had a progress bar to show how far along the install is. Would highly doubt that one company/person is getting royalties everytime a program is made with a progress bar. Guess anything is possible...  I think I am going to break down and buy MS Visual C++ .NET, plus I know there is direct support within that program for a progress bar. Am still up for info on how to create/impliment a progress bar without using a visual compiler. Thanks, -BB98 |

Thanks tempest. Looks good.

wow... Does that count even if the program is for private use and is not going to be a publicly used, published program? Thanks, -BB98 |

Well, if you don't live in Europe, it won't affect you anyways (until you export your products). Secondly, I do not believe that the owner ever filed any suits, so it may have been overturned or revoked or whatever. I haven't heard anything about since that article.

Isn't there still an amendment up in the air to abolish software patents in EU?
