1. We can use API ::SetWindowTheme(HWND,_T(""),_T(""). HWND can be control variable of your progress bar which will make it appear as a Flat progress bar.

2. Another way I figured out not using CProgressbar Control completely. We can derived our own class from CStatic and define OnPaint message of our class for example

MyProgress::Onpaint()
{

}

Where we can draw rectangle to fill as Progress on the static box. Also can differ other functions as Setrange(),SetPos(),SetpIt() etc. to behave as like Progressbar also display text on it.
