    Downloading With Progress Bar [General or Borland c++]

    Hello all, how many here knows, this is possible using the urlmon.h of Windows API, but i dont know how to use it with Borland C++, i get a strange error, so, if anyone here can write a class that use URLDownloadToFile with IBindStatusCallback class, it'll help me(and others) too much...

    It can be simple, just show the progress, the speed(if can), and time left.

    Thank You.

    I google'd the internet, but just get codes to MFC or visual c++ that dont work with my application.

    Is there a reason you need to use Borland? It's old and pretty poor these days.
    There are better free alternatives.

    tried to use visual c++ express, but it uses .NET plataform
    it could use, and also it could not to use - depends on the type of the project you create
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    Yes, but it doesn't allow to create a form by drag & drop like Borland C++, it allows only using .net

    Or i'm wrong, but i cant find how...

    Sorry for being noob, i just programmed C++ console app before... with devc++

    I need help with downloading with progress bar, just it ;/

    "Windows Form Applications" are .NET, but Windows Application are Win32, native.
