ProgressBar on StatusBar on MDI

I've seen the post on showing the progressbar on the statusbar, but it doesn't seem to work on an MDI form. I think the problem is the progress bar Align property being forced to be non-zero in this situation. The rectangle for the statusbar panel is correct, but I always get a full-length bar. Any suggestions?

You can always fake a Progress bar, eg.

private Sub MDIForm_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 100
Picture1.Visible = false
Picture1.Font = StatusBar1.Font
End Sub

private Sub Timer1_Timer()
static ival as Integer
ival = (ival + 1) Mod 100
ProgressBar ival, 100
End Sub

private Sub ProgressBar(byval iValue as Integer, byval iMax as Integer)
With StatusBar1.Panels(1)
.Text = string(Int((((.Width - 100) / Picture1.TextWidth(Chr(0))) / iMax) * iValue), Chr(10))
End With
End Sub

Not bad, but I'd like it to look "standard".
