Apparently, progressbar.fmb is part of Forms Demos on how to use the OCX.

Following cut and pasted from Metalink. This is how to create your own.

Hi ,

PURPOSE

---

This note helps how to create a progress bar in forms

SCOPE & APPLICATION

---

This can be used for the client server as well as web forms which user wants to display the status of using progress abr.

DESCRIPTION

---

Progressbar is used to display the status of any event. This will give the users a visual effect of whats happening

SOLUTION / STEPS

---

1. Create a user defined parameter PARAM_PERC and datatype Number, Intial value as 0 and maximum value as 30

2.Create a control block P_bar below items

1. P_BAR text item Datatype char size 200, Bevel None ,Height 227, Width 11
2. T_STATUS Display item which displays the % on line
3. STEP command button
4. CLEAR Command button

Program Unit Clear

PROCEDURE clear IS
Begin

:P_bar.P_bar:=''; 
:t_status := '0%'; 
:PARAMETER.PARAM_PERC :=0; 

END; e) prog_bar_step

PROCEDURE prog_bar_step IS
a number :=:delay;
begin

if :PARAMETER.PARAM_PERC >=0 AND :PARAMETER.PARAM_PERC <=100 THEN

:p_bar.P_bar:=:p_bar.P_bar||'|'; 
:PARAMETER.PARAM_PERC := :PARAMETER.PARAM_PERC +1; 
:t_status := round(:PARAMETER.PARAM_PERC)||'%'; 

END IF; end;

f) In the STEP command button when button pressed trigger call the procedure prog_bar_step;

this will increment the status bar by one step. Depending on the requirement you can call this in any program unit so that it will increment.

ADDITIONAL INFO

---

If you want to display a progress bar that executes automatically then you can create a timer and put the procedure prog_bar_step in that.

Thanks
