Progressbar with text

[x-dream]

How do i get text in my progressbar like in flashfxp maybe author could paste his code from ffxp for this. Including the nice textcolor change when it progresses.

Thanks

Hehe.
And maybe he could make it open source too whilst hes at it. Not likely to happen bud ;)

the most easy way to make a progress bar with text inside is to use a picture box and place a transparent label inside.

I use a custom component that I wrote to get the desired effect in FlashFXP.

I basically do all the drawing myself. If the OS is themesd and blending is enabled then I create a gray scale mask of the themed progressbar and blend my own colors into it.

I could post the component however its written in Borland Delphi 4 and its not commented, it would require some changes to work with newer versions of delphi, since Delphi 4 doesn't support themes I use a 3rd party component to get the desired effect.

Public Sub PictureProgress(Shape As Control, done As Integer, total As Variant)
On Error Resume Next
Dim x As Integer
x = done / total * Shape.Width
Shape.Line (0, 0)-(Shape.Width, Shape.Height), RGB(176, 212, 255), BF
Shape.Line (0, 0)-(x - 10, Shape.Height), RGB(32, 84, 144), BF
Shape.CurrentX = (Shape.Width / 2) - 100
Shape.CurrentY = (Shape.Height / 2) - 125
Shape.ForeColor = RGB(150, 150, 150)
End Sub
