A developer would have to key in a 2g+ lnteger value. And the ide editor would have to store said value. Just make leave that be for now. I just don't see that a a reality for progressbar. But typically a progress bar is used in conjunction with streams. Therefore it should handle the same size as objects like that. On 64bit oses position/size = 64bits wide. It may seem large but it is not when it represents a video stream or archive file. On 32bit systems it is 32bits wide.
