Examples
The following code example adds a ProgressBar control to the top of the worksheet, and then increases the current position of the control to 50. To use this example, run it from the Sheet1 class in a document-level project.
Private Sub ExcelAddProgressBar()
Dim ProgressBar1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
Controls.ProgressBar = Me.Controls. _
AddProgressBar(0, 0, 75, 17.25, "ProgressBar1")
ProgressBar1.Maximum = 100
ProgressBar1.Step = 50
ProgressBar1.PerformStep()
End Sub
private void ExcelAddProgressBar()
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.ProgressBar
progressBar1 = this.Controls.AddProgressBar(
0, 0, 75, 17.25, "progressBar1");
progressBar1.Maximum = 100;
progressBar1.Step = 50;
progressBar1.PerformStep();
}
