AR Progress Bar ActiveX Control

AR Progress Bar ActiveX Control 1.02

This is a very customizable bar control, that will show a plain color bar or a gradient bar between any two colors.

History:

01.04.98, version 1.0 released.
Version 1.01 15.05.98: fixed a bug that made the progress bar always use black as the ending color when the 'UseGradient' property was set to True.
Version 1.02 09.07.98: fixed a bug that caused an 'overflow' error when changing the ending color for the gradient.

Properties:

Align. This aligns the control to the form in which it is placed.
BackColor. BackColor for the progress bar.
Border. None, Simple or 3D.
CaptionForeColor. If the caption with the percent is shown, here you will be able to set in which color.
EndColor. End color for the gradient. It will be ignored if 'ShowGradient' is set to false.
Font. If the caption with the percent is shown, here you will be able to set what font will be used for it.
ForeColor. If 'ShowGradient' is set to false, so the progress bar will be a plain color one, this color will be used. If 'ShowGradient' is set to true, this property will be ignored.
IniColor. Initial color for the gradient. If 'ShowGradient' is set to false, this property will be ignored.
Max. Maximum value that the progress bar will take.
Min. Minimum value that the progress bar will take.
ShowCaption. True or false; if set to true, a caption with the actual percent of the progress bar will be shown.
UseGradient. True or false; if set to true, instead of a plain color progress bar, a gradient will be shown, using the color specified in IniColor and EndColor.
Value. Actual value for the progress bar. Must be between Min and Max.

Methods:

Refresh. This will refresh the contents of the progress bar. I have needed it when showing two progress bars, for the second one.
