The CPAN module Smart::Comments may be of use. The book Perl Best Practices has a section entitled Progress Indicators (Chapter 10 - page 222 in my copy) which may also prove useful. -- Ken	[reply]

Use module Tk::ProgressBar `my $ progress = $ widget-> ProgressBar ( -Width => 20, -Length => 300, -From => 0, -To => 100, -Colors => [0, "# 0090F0"], -Gap => 0, -Troughcolor =>"# A5A5A5" ) -> Pack (qw /-side bottom-fill x-expand 0 /)` [download] Have you worked on PerlTk threads?	[reply] [d/l]

If it is at all possible, you'll have to use Win32::GuiTest, see Using Win32::GuiTest, WinSpy, ... list of links in Re: Setting Terminal Server User Profile Settings	[reply]
