[quote]I was under the impression that once the vertical progress bar was added to the toolbox it would be there for any other programs, obviously this is not so.[/quote]No, you must add the code snippet to every project and build the project to get the vertical progress bar to the toolbox.
[quote]How cah I make the Vertical Progress bars available in all new programs.?[/quote]You must do this:
Add the code snippet to the end of the source. (Please see my modified demo project as an example.)
When done, select in the menu “Build” the option “Build <your_program>”.
When done the new control should appear to the Toolbox.
Here is the code snippet:
Public Class VerticalProgressBar
Inherits ProgressBar
Protected Overloads Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.Style = cp.Style Or &H4
Return cp
End Get
End Property
End Class
