If you are using VS.NET, a progress bar is available from the Forms toolbox.
Three properties that make it work are :
Minimum
Maximum
Value
Set Min and MAx at the beginning, set value at each 'milestone'. Give
windows a chance to redraw the control (doEvents or whatever the exact method
is).
If you don't have VS.NET, the control is :
System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar
