I can easily add progress control to command ba like shown in the example:

CXTPToolBar* pToolBarProgress = pCommandBars->Add(_T("Progress"), xtpBarTop);

pToolBarProgress->GetControls()->Add(xtpControlLabel, 0)->SetCaption(_T("CXTPControlProgress:"));

m_pToolbarProgressCtrl = new CXTPControlProgress();

m_pProjectWizBar->GetControls()->Add((CXTPControl*)m_pToolbarProgressCtrl);

BOOL bVista = ((CBluetoothControllerApp*)AfxGetApp())->IsVista();

m_pToolbarProgressCtrl->Init(bVista, TRUE, bVista ? 10 : 30, 100, 1);

However I can't make it Marquee style since the CXTPControlProgress class is derived from CXTPControl and others that are not derived from CWnd and therefore cannot be used to send windows message that sets the marquee style:

HWND hWnd = GetSafeHwnd();

LONG_PTR dwLong = GetWindowLongPtr(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);

LONG_PTR dwNewLong = dwLong | PBS_MARQUEE;

dwLong = SetWindowLongPtr(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, (LONG)dwNewLong);

LRESULT lResult = this->SendMessage((UINT)PBM_SETMARQUEE,// message ID

(WPARAM)TRUE, // set to marqee

(LPARAM) m_nMarqueeDelay); // time in milisec between update

I tried to derive my own progress ctrl from CProgressControl but then the following line crashes (not sure why I was expecting a miracle)

m_pProjectWizBar->GetControls()->Add((CXTPControl*)m_pToolbarProgressCtrl);

Is there any other way to make progress control marquee-style on the command bar ?

Hi,

Check \Samples\CommandBars\CommonControls - shows how add standard controls to toolbar.
