: : : : : : 1. How can I modify a Progressbar so it acts like a progressbar where the estimated time isn't known?
: : : : : :
: : : : : : 2. How can I create small popup forms la Messenger style?
: : : : : :
: : : : : 1. Increase the Max whenever it is necessary. For example: During a move/copy action the explorer increases the Max with the number of files in each directory as it starts with that directory.
: : : : :
: : : : : 2. Don't know.
: : : : :
: : : : Ah yes, that's one version. But as you see the progressbar's left side isn't emptied. Connect a USB hd to your system or load a cd with alot of files on it, as the cd's scanned the progressbar highlights some steps at the time, not from 1 through n%, but rather from say m% to n% ie. 5% - 10% at the time. That's what I want to do.

: : : You can use the StepBy() method to indicate how much it should step. For even more control, you can also use the Position to change the position.

: : StepBy() will inrease the value of the TProgressBar - the right side of the bar.. I have had problems with this myself, I used some other animation (in console apps the |/-\ character sequence is popular, to give an illusion a bar is rotating) - because, after all, this is just an animation to show the program hasn't hung yet :)

: So you say it is an animation huh?
:
: What name is it under? Can one use it with the TAnimator?
:
You could use the TAnimate, but also the TMediaPlayer, TPaintBox, TImage, or an appropriate 3rd-party component.
