1RV34,

Yes, it is a marquee progress and you code it like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 400, 20, $PBS_MARQUEE)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $PBM_SETMARQUEE, True, 50) ; final parameter is update time in ms
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Your solution will only work as requested by OP on Vista+ operating systems whereas the GDI+ stuff should also work for WinXP.

I don't know whether OP is using WinXP or Vista+ os...

I'm using Win7 so that's fine but it also works for me in WinXP, ok well it doesnt glow there but I actually just was looking for the marquee effect
