Nigel,

thanks for the feedback. Funnily enough I have been meaning to fix that
cursor thing for months now but there has always been something more
interesting.

Simply set the enabled property for the two controls on the form txtProgFore
and txtProgBack to false, and it goes away.

You can also tweak the values for top and height of txtProgFore to get a
slightly more 3d effect, which is I think what you are suggesting. Top at 79
and height of 17 might look slightly better. Guess I better change the
published version.

Finally, on my machine the progress bar is light blue, matching the inactive
title bar colour setting on windows. You can change the txtProgFore
Backcolor setting to change this.

Yours,

Robin Hammond
