ProgressBarXP is a control software that displays XP style progress bars on old versions of Windows. There are various drawing styles to choose from, and users can personalize the colors, fonts, and text.
If you're looking for an XP-style progress bar control for use with Visual Basic, ProgressBarXP™ is an excellent choice. With it, you can enjoy the XP Luna style even if you're not running on Windows XP. Furthermore, several drawing styles are available, including an XP Luna style that is compatible with all Windows platforms (not just XP), as well as more traditional thick and thin borders.
What sets ProgressBarXP apart from its competition is its ability to properly draw progress bars in any XP Visual Style - even third-party styles. Moreover, an auto-detect system style ensures that your progress bar always looks perfect. The control also allows for pictures to be assigned to both the background and progress fill area, granting you complete control over your progress bar's appearance.
Shadow and glow effects are also available, with the aim to enhance text readability and visual appeal. Additionally, the text that is displayed is fully configurable. While the control will display an automatically calculated percentage by default, you can assign specific text as needed. With our unique text callback event, you can even dynamically change your text on progress bar increments.
Notably, ProgressBarXP fully supports Unicode text, tooltips, and right-to-left reading modes, meaning your software is international-ready. Finally, the control is lightweight, coming in at only 76kb. Some of its best features include support for standard, smooth, and marquee scrolling, customizable colors and fonts, and many drawing styles.
