Hi; I'd like to show a progress control within my application status bar (ie. to display operations progression).

I reused the code provided with the Statusbar sample, which is mainl :

CMainFrame::OnCreate(.....

m_wndStatusBar.GetPane(0)->SetBeginGroup(FALSE);
m_wndStatusBar.SetRibbonDividerIndex(m_wndStatusBar.GetPaneCount() - 1);
AddProgress();
m_wndStatusBar.EnableCustomization();

I also of course declared the value ID_INDICATOR_PROG is ressource strings, and declared CProgressCtrl m_wndProgCtrl in mainfrm.h.

But the Progresscontrol doesn't show !!??

I've done exactly as in the example, when debugging the ::AddProgress function, the trace result is identically between the sample and my App.

I even added full statusbar indicators to the statusbar sample, removed all other controls like AddLogo(), AddEdit() etc.. and the ProgressControl still displays..

What could I possibly forget to do in my App, any hint?

Many thankx in advance!!

Hi,

try to trace CXTPStatusBar::PositionControls() method.

anyway think CXTPStatusBarProgressPane is better choise for progress in StatusBar.

From RibbonSample:

CXTPStatusBarProgressPane* pProgressPane = (CXTPStatusBarProgressPane*)m_wndStatusBar.AddIndicator(new CXTPStatusBarProgressPane(), ID_INDICATOR_PROGRESS);
pProgressPane->SetBeginGroup(FALSE);
pProgressPane->SetCaption(_T("&ProgressBar"));
pProgressPane->SetWidth(100);
pProgressPane->SetPos(30);
pProgressPane->SetPadding(3, 0, 3, 0);
pProgressPane->SetVisible(FALSE);

ok; I found what was wrong (I wasn't using correctly the show/hide function) and the progress control remained in hide state, I noticed that by accessing the statusbar menu (right-click).

I just have another problem I can't seem to solve: the progress control is displayed in old windows 95 flat blue color format.

I don't understand since I copied entirely the progress control related code from statusbar, where the style is set to PBS_SMOOTH.

Also my application is using the Toolkit Office2007 paintmanager time and it is successfully on ALL the controls/windows of my applications (including statusbar) - EXCEPT to the progress control !??

Any idea?

Thanks ;)
