ProgressBar??

How can i create and manage progress bars in C / Win32 API?
I tried copying the code generated by the VC++ dialog editor, but it doesn't work.

It's cpp (part of my progress class), but you can figure it out:
void CProgress::SetPosition(int nPos)
{
SendMessage(WindowHandle, PBM_SETPOS, (WPARAM)nPos, 0);
}

void CProgress::SetNoEdge(void)
{
long style;
style = GetWindowLong (WindowHandle, GWL_EXSTYLE) ;
style &= ~WS_EX_STATICEDGE ;
SetWindowLong (WindowHandle, GWL_EXSTYLE, style) ;
}

void CProgress::Create(HINSTANCE hInst, HWND hwnd, int nLeft, int nRight, int nWidth, int nHeight)
{

WindowHandle = CreateWindowEx(0, //WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,            //more or 'extended' styles
    PROGRESS_CLASS,                 //the 'class' of window to create
    NULL,                        //the window title
    WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | PBS_SMOOTH, //window style: how it looks
    nLeft,                          //window position: left
    nRight,                          //window position: top
    nWidth,                         //window width
    nHeight,                          //window height
    hwnd,                        //parent window handle
    NULL,                        //handle to this windows's menu
    hInst,                     //application instance
    NULL);
   
SendMessage(WindowHandle, PBM_SETPOS, 0, 0);

}

You need to call InitCommonControls beforehand and link with libcomctl32 or something like that.
