Actually, if you want a solid color, you can place a Label (.Caption = "") inside a PictureBox. Just stretch the PictureBox to whatever you want the maximum value/width to be, stretch the Label to match, then set the BackColor. Remember to set the Label's Top and Left to 0. To use it, just resize the PictureBox's width without sizing the Label. It's flicker-free, and you can also use a graphic to emulate the XP ProgressBar in every OS environment.

That's totally wrong.
You can use the SendMessage API and PBM_SETBARCOLOR and PBM_SETBKCOLOR to change them.
The miracles of MSDN.  |

Code:
Function picture_Bar(ByRef startx, ByRef endx, ByVal Couleur As Long)
Dim Ybar!, X!
For X = startx To endx
For Ybar = 0 To Picturebar.ScaleHeight
Picturebar.PSet (X, Ybar), Couleur
Next Ybar
Next X
DoEvents
End Function
' Usage:
'initialise startx and endx
'if only to follow progression of a single operation startx = 0
'but you can have startx take last value of previous operation
Call picture_Bar(startx, endx, vbWhite)

PSet? Why not use Line? Check out the URL I posted.

I use Pset because it allows me in some progressbars to insert percentage in the middle of bar and invert font colors so that percentage is visible all the time ...

I don't see where you are doing any of those things in this example.

Spacefrog,
The code I posted does invert the colors for the percentage, and it's also centered in the picturebox.
Also, if you'd like a different color for the bar, just change the FillColor and ForeColor of the picturebox.
