Messages

Topic Contents
PBM_DELTAPOS Advances the current position of a progress bar by a specified increment and redraws the bar to reflect the new position.
PBM_GETBARCOLOR Gets the color of the progress bar.
PBM_GETBKCOLOR Gets the background color of the progress bar.
PBM_GETPOS Retrieves the current position of the progress bar.
PBM_GETRANGE Retrieves information about the current high and low limits of a given progress bar control.
PBM_GETSTATE Gets the state of the progress bar.
PBM_GETSTEP Retrieves the step increment for a progress bar. The step increment is the amount by which the progress bar increases its current position whenever it receives a PBM_STEPIT message.
PBM_SETBARCOLOR Sets the color of the progress indicator bar in the progress bar control.
PBM_SETBKCOLOR Sets the background color in the progress bar.
PBM_SETMARQUEE Sets the progress bar to marquee mode. This causes the progress bar to move like a marquee.
PBM_SETPOS Sets the current position for a progress bar and redraws the bar to reflect the new position.
PBM_SETRANGE Sets the minimum and maximum values for a progress bar and redraws the bar to reflect the new range.
PBM_SETRANGE32 Sets the range of a progress bar control to a 32-bit value.
PBM_SETSTATE Sets the state of the progress bar.
PBM_SETSTEP Specifies the step increment for a progress bar. The step increment is the amount by which the progress bar increases its current position whenever it receives a PBM_STEPIT message. By default, the step increment is set to 10.
PBM_STEPIT Advances the current position for a progress bar by the step increment and redraws the bar to reflect the new position. An application sets the step increment by sending the PBM_SETSTEP message.
