when i create a progress control in default style, i get a segmented bar in win xp. in win7 it is always smooth. $PBS_VERTICAL style works with win7, and i get a marquee effect with style=8. but is it possible to get the original progress bar with segments in win7 ?

thx in advance t.

(example script is the SampleControls.au3 in autoit examples directory)

You may have to turn off theme support for the progressbar control:

Func _ControlSetTheme($iControl = -1)
    Local $aReturn = DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($iControl), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, 1, 0)
    Return $aReturn[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_ControlSetTheme

Or, you may have to make sure that you're not using the $PBS_SMOOTH variable for style parameter.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

hmm thanx but no ;) doesn't change anything.

the uxthemes have to be turned off in winxp to enable a smooth ($PBS_SMOOTH) progress bar.

but i want a segmented progress bar (default style) in win7. i do not use $PBS_SMOOTH style. it seems win7 always draws smooth bars.

I don't think you can do it without some kind of user made version of the progress bar, the native Vista/7 progress bar doesn't seem to allow that without changing the theme, i.e. skinning the GUI.
