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.
