Alex & Geoff,
You don't need to know how many ticks it takes.
OK, I'll bite: just how does one set the end value of the scrollBar if one does not have an idea of how many loops or how many ticks the entire process will take?
Suppose, for example, one is downloading a file. Changing the thumbPosition every fixed number of ticks means that after x tricks the progress bar will have the same setting regardless the file size (eg: a 5MB file download will show exactly the same progress as a 10MB download or a 100MB download).
Also, how does one know the progress bar won't get completely to the end well before the process is completed?
