Hi,

How do I style a 'CProgressCtrl' so that it shows a few marks running left to right, to give the user visual feedback that we are still alive, without putting an actual 'ProgressValue' to it. Win XP shows something like that when starting up.

I Think I can Manage it if I Know the values of 'PBM_SETMARQUEE' and 'PBS_MARQUEE'
Regards,

Bram. :)

You can use the CProgressCtrl::SetMarquee[^] function to activate this style of progress indicator.
This function is only available in Visual Studio 2008 and higher though. For older version you will need to implement it yourself, perhaps by using a timer.
