Sorry for not being able to help you here - I've never used the Progress 
Manager myself - in fact, I never understood how to use it, although I did try. 
I also got the impression that it was for text-only progress indication and I 
wanted a graphical progress bar anyway, so I reached the conclusion that it was 
not worth the effort to dig too deeply into it.

I ended up implementing the progress bar myself. It's not as difficult as it 
sounds, if the application is designed correctly. That is, as I mentioned to 
you in the past, when you want to scan for viruses, don't just enter a loop 
where you do all the work; that clogs the device. Instead, listen to the 
nilEvent event on the form that displays the information about the scanning 
process and execute one little step (e.g., scan a single object) each time you 
get such an event. Then you can also update the progress indicator in a way 
that indicates that you have performed that little step. In my particular 
application I update the graphical progress bar, display the name of the 
scanned object, its version number, date of last modification, attributes, and 
icon, if any.

Vesselin
