How do you make a progress bar go? I would like one on my form (load_bar) to actually do something. So that when the method is half-way then the bar shows 50% and when it is done it shown 100%.
I need this because the method which I am using takes a long time and The user will most likely think that the program has stalled the system.

This is simple!

The progress bar has 2 properties.
...partsDone
...partsInJob

It is really simple.
You just set how many jobs it has.

load_bar.partsInJob := 200;

And as it does each job...

load_bar.partsDone := load_bar.partsDone + 1;

So then you will have a really cool progress bar that moves and shows how much it has done.
