It works on the Mac, but the same code does not work on Windows... for z = 0 to ubound(itemArray) j = 0 f = getFolderItem(itemArray(z)) fileName = f.name ProgressBar1.visible = true ProgressText.text = "Reading File: " + f.Name ProgressText.visible = true ProgressBar1.value = 0 progressBar1.maximum = 65536 ProgressBar1.value = (z/ubound(itemArray))*65536 ProgressBar1.refresh Top DaveS Post subject: Re: Progressbar won't updatePosted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 10:37 am Joined: Sun Aug 05, 2007 10:46 am Posts: 4102 Location: San Diego, CA this won't necessarily solve your problem.... but it will ease up on a ton of internal events on the progress bar ProgressText.visible = true ProgressBar1.value = 0 progressBar1.maximum = ubound(itemArray) ProgressBar1.visible = true for z = 0 to ubound(itemArray) j = 0 f = getFolderItem(itemArray(z)) fileName = f.name ProgressText.text = "Reading File: " + f.Name ProgressBar1.value = z ProgressBar1.refresh _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.7.3 RB2011r3 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top pbesong Post subject: Re: Progressbar won't updatePosted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 10:41 am Joined: Fri Dec 09, 2005 6:25 pm Posts: 323 ah yes. so obvious.

Out of frustration I drew 2 rectangles, one on top of the other (red over white) and made my own progress bar by adjusting the width of the red one. It works great, but I have some status text above it that should update and it seems to disappear along with a couple buttons that are above it as well. I tried refreshing the window, but they still get hidden for some reason. The rectangles in no way overlap these interface elements. Why do they disappear?
