slow toolstrip progress bar

hi

i am using a toolstripprogressbar in an application. I increment this using
PerformStep(), which is called on the tick event of a timer.

When I set the progressbar range from 0 to 9, and the timer interval to 100 milliseconds, so that it should reach its max value after 1 second, I find that the progressbar is not re-drawn qucikly enough.

It seems that there is a delay before the progressbar is re-drawn.

Is there anyway to force or speed up the redraw of the progressbar.

OS is 32 bit vista professional
using VS2005

Got a solution to this

I have drawn my own progress bar, it actually looks ok when using a LinearGradientBrush, and it redraws when I want it to redraw
