Hi. I mentioned this briefly in the previous response. You might want to try using the Horizontal Graduated Bar or the Horizontal Progress Bar both in the third row of the numeric subpalette of the controls palette. Since they are LabVIEW indicators, as opposed to activeX controls for which you

Yes but suppose i have 2 separate For loops, and i want the progress bar to keep track of the 1rst loop until half the progress bar, and then keep track of the 2nd loop until 100% of the progress bar. The problem is, i cannot connect 2 wires to the horizontal progress bar indicator to be able to

I reasd the other posts where you mention that the progress may come from seperate loops. You can create a reference and a property node (write value) to pass the value to the progress bar. This allows you to send values from different locations to a single progress bar. For instance.

Thank you Joe but I was already using the microsoft progress bar in different loops by updating its value in its property node. It takes a long time though for large iterations (it adds at least 14 seconds for the loop time for 15000 iterations), not to mention that i'm using a poor pentium II

Greetings, Naddad: What's wrong with using one of the several available Labview progress bars? That way you won't have to keep dipping into the windows application, which should speed things up considerably. (Besides, the Labview bars are a lot better looking than Windows bars,
