VB Statusbar?

[gyoung]

Anyone have any idea on how to do a statusbar when you don't know the number of operations?

Specifically, I'm doing a search for files but I won't know how long it will take. So how do you track that with a statusbar?

its ugly, but what I've done in hte past is actually go through the loop once just to find the total number, and then go through it again to do the actual work. If you don't know the total number, you could make it work like the typical MS progress bar and guess
I mean how many times have you seen it get up to about 50% and finish? lol
I've actually seen a progress bar go backwards LOL
