Thoughts on a custom progress bar.

I was wondering what I'd need to make my own progress bar. I once saw a javascript/DHtml progress bar that used single pixel graphics to fill the bar up. Would I use this approach? Also, how would I make my own min or max option for it? Thanks alot.

For a nice all purpose progressbar class, have a look at the website of Karl E. Peterson (http://www.mvps.org/vb)

Maybe I'm blind but I don't see it there. Is there a more specific link?

Sometimes I just use a picturebox or even a shape control.

With the picturebox, you could use the LINE method to draw a filled box, with the Shape control, you could just make it wider.

This could easily be modified to make a great progressbar.
