Progress Bar on Report

02-23-2005, 6:02 PM
I have a report that gathers a lot of data, so it takes it a minute or so before it displays after the viewer comes up.  It is a report I created using the Designer in VB6.0

I notice there is a little graphic in the right hand corner of the toolbar, but that is not very noticeable.  Is there a way to change that to a progress bar on the toolbar maybe?

Or is there a way in Active Reports 2 to show a progress bar while the data is being gathered?

Any sugesstions will be helpful, my clients are impatient if they don't notice some kind of activity for a little while.

Thanks.

Right now the graphic is only available in the upper right corner, there are no plans to change it. You can inplement your own progress bar, but there's no externally available events when running the report, only a LoadCompleted event in the viewer control. You could start a continuous progress bar before running the report and then in the LoadCompleted event stop it's activity. This would behave much like the current indicator icon.
