Hi,

I am a newbie to VB (am using VB6) and I am having a problem with a
progressbar. A form calls a function in a module which in turn calls
methods in a 3rd party activex control on the form.

Before calling the activex methods, I start a timer attached to a progress
bar. The bar starts to increment, then stops (only after a short time) and
remains frozen until the activex method has finished at which time the
progress bar continues to increment - ie it shows progress after all the
work is done !

I have been looking on the groups but am not finding much to help ..... I
understand threading support is better in .net, but thats not an option for
me ! Can someone help me out here ?

thanks

Mike
