Hi, I was wondering how I can make a general purpose progress bar so when my program is doing something (ie. Loading a file, downloading, uploading ect,)

Has anyone done this or have any ideas how I can do this,

I have been looking around for a freeware program or something that will emulate a progress bar or something but haven't had luck.

any ideas ?
