hi, i have a form that has a button, when the button is clicked it will create an excel report. what i want to do is to add a progressbar while the excel report is being processed, and also to put the progress bar in the status bar.
You would add the progress bar as a panel to the status bar, in order to see it update with new values you will have to off shoot your excell create function to a child thread.
Then use the child thread to update the progressbar or like most progressbars you can put it in a loop based on a timer.
