    Progress meter color

    I have been trying to create two progress meters, each with a different color. No luck, so far. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

    thanks in advance

    Set the 'bar' colour to green:
    Code:
    SendMessage(hProgress, PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, (LPARAM)RGB(0,128,0));
    Set the background colour to purple:
    Code:
    SendMessage(hProgress, PBM_SETBKCOLOR, 0, (LPARAM)RGB(200,0,200));
    where hProgress is the handle of your progress bar.

    edit: formatting

    Thanks Ken, I thought no one had a solution.

    Funny, there is no mention of PBM_SETBARCOLOR in the Win32 programmers reference.....hmmmm

    thanks again
