I would like to see the Win32::GUI::ProgressBar with
the MULTICOLOR features found in Tk:ProgressBar.
Thank you. This allows ranges in the ProgressBar to
be different colors. Win32::GUI only allows one
color for the entire PBar. Thanks! Eric Hansen

use Tk;
...
my $PBAR1 = $mw->ProgressBar(
-borderwidth => 1,
-relief => 'sunken',
-width => 20,
-length => 500,
-padx => 10,
-pady => 10,
-variable => \$status_var1,
-colors => [0 => 'red', 15 => 'yellow' , 30
=> 'green', 60 => 'white', 70 => 'blue'],
-resolution => 0,
-troughcolor => 'black',
-blocks => 75,
-gap => 2,
-anchor => 'n',
-from => 0,
-to => 75
)->pack(
-padx => 20,
-pady => 20,
-side => 'left',
-fill => 'both',
-expand => 0
);

The underlying win32 progress bar control has no native
support for such a feature, so the only approach here would
be to write a custom control (or perhaps sub-class the
existing progress bar).

It wouldn't be particularly hard to do, but unless you can
drum up more people who would find this useful I don't see
it being a part of the near-time WIn32::GUI development, as
there are more important (in *my* opinion) thing to be
getting on with.

Rob.
