There you go.

Thanks Ill make sure Ill tes tthis and give results.

Edit: I also have a question and will save space b y making another thread. Is there a way to change the progress bar to my custom gui instead of the green one? Like I cahnge to a progress bar with stripes. If this is possible it would be easier to blend it with the program.

Override the paint method and draw a red progrss bar.

Progressbar doesn't have a paint event, and the vista progress bar doesn't really support CreateGraphics either as it's animated and repaints every time, and seeing as you're not handling the "paint" event, it just flickers to shit.

It is haha, I remember Kevin posted the link somewhere. I'll try search for it.

I saw some tools once that could change it to red yellow or green but forgot what it was called...

For your second question, either create your own using a UserControl or something similar. Or download a custom component.

Use an image as the progress bar and stretch it as the progress increases?

Yeah, or you can use gradient colors for vector rendering as Freedom said. The advantage of using vector graphics is that they don't lose their quality.

Uhm... MSDN says it does.

Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2003 SP2

Also, to prevent flickering.. double buffer the thing?

Furthermore, you can call PBM_SETSTATE and set the state of the progress bar (green, red, yellow) in Windows Vista and above.

Find it for me

Try

The best I can find
