[Quoted] [Quoted] Hi, hope someone can help me with this!

I have a 4.5 form, with a multi row block. Each row is a 'process'.
I would like to graphically show the progress of each process with a kind of bargraph.
Each process can be in one of 5 states, so if you imagine a bar from 0 to 100%, each phase would fill 20% of the bar.

e.g.:

process 01 * * * *
process 02 * * *
process 07 * * * * *
process 12 *

The asterisks would be represented more graphically.

I want the colour of the bar to reflect the status of the process, green for ok, red for failed.

So far, the only way I've found to do this is to have two bitmaps held on disk, one red and one green, wide enough to cover 20% of the bar. I then populate up to 5 non base columns with the relevant image, using read_image_file. This works, but it is very slow. Can anyone offer a way to speed it up, or a better solution to the problem?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
