ProgressBar

[Andrew Truckle]

When using a ProgressBar control how can I set the bar to be solid instead of blocks?

If you are using VC6 I think you can enable the PBS_SMOOTH style through
the resource editor. For VC5 or earlier it's a bit tougher. You can create the
progress bar yourself or use one of the classes on this site like the gradient
progress bar if you want. It handles all of the painting itself to make the bar
appear smooth. I have used it and it was very easy.
