So, I have this For Each loop that takes a while to run. I wanted to take
advantage of the visual feedback the ProgressBar could give to the impatient
user. However, when I place the ProgressBar.Value=x and ProgressBar.Refresh
within the loop, I can't seem to get the ProgressBar to redraw itself to show
the progress in real time. Any suggestions?

application.doevents ?
or maybe you are after the Style.Marque property setting for progress bar ?

Maybe you need an 'Application.DoEvents()' call.
