Marquee Progess Bar

[JM2251]

Hi, How to put marquee progress bar in win32 under windows XP.

Create your progress bar with PBS_MARQUEE[^] style. You can start and stop the animation, and control its speed using PBM_SETMARQUEE[^] message. :)

In win32

//Set Marquee Style to Progress Bar
SetWindowLongPtr(hwndProgressBar, GWL_STYLE, PBS_MARQUEE);
//Turn On Marque
SendMessage(hwndProgressBar, PBM_SETMARQUEE, (WPARAM)TRUE, (LPARAM)100/*interval*/);

Marquee style needs additional requirements. If it doesn't work, try additional resource manifests. Build Requirements for Windows Vista Common Controls Manifest Resources

I am getting compilation error: C2065: 'PBS_MARQUEE' : undeclared identifier I written the code the InitDialog() HWND hwndProgress=GetDlgItem(m_hwnd,IDC_PROGRESS1); SetWindowLongPtr(hwndProgress, GWL_STYLE, PBS_MARQUEE); My application is win32. Please suggest??

Check your SDK version and the value asigned to the WINVER symbol. May be the definition of that constant is disabled by a old WINVER number

as emilo told, you can see those values in CommCtrl.h as

#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501)
#define PBS_MARQUEE 0x08
#endif // _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501

#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501)
#define PBM_SETMARQUEE (WM_USER+10)
#endif // _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501

so check your source code (probably in targetver.h) for #define _WIN32_WINNT and check the value. Also, you can try defining those values manually in your code as

#define PBS_MARQUEE 0x08
#define PBM_SETMARQUEE (WM_USER+10)
