Posts: 411                I've used progress bars to provide feedback to users 
when there is a time consuming process running, but I've run into a problem 
when trying to retro fit a progress bar into the routine would be extremely 
difficult if not impossible.  This is because the need for the progress bar is 
in a form where the user can perform a process that will affect thousands of 
assets; however, the process depends on multiple methods and properties of the 
form.  I would have to move all of this code and properties to another method 
in order to call it from the thread in the progress bar and this could take 
days if not weeks to retro fit.

So I'm looking for an alternative elegant way to provide feedback to the user 
that there is something going on besides just changing the cursor.  Any ideas 
would be greatly appreciated.
