Perhaps not crucial, but the possiblity of a progress bar on a status bar (i.e. like IE) would be nice, since I keep have many little tasks that I would like to keep my eyes on - an simple unobtrusive control like that would be perfect.

Many thanks

make your own status bar that has a progress in it

[tuna]

But that would be text based right?

Create a statusbar on the gui and a progressbar.
Set the progressbar's parent to statusbar.
It's graphical, like IE.

Thank HuBa, but I don't quite follow, do you mean a parent window - I've not seen documentation on creating parent controls.

Many thanks

[HuBa]

You create the two separate control.
Then retreive the window handle to those controls.
And call this little Window API function:
DllCall("SetParent", "UInt", hControl, "UInt", hNewParent)

It's not a native AHK function so you need to understand the basics of WinAPI.
The documentation is here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633541.aspx

I'd like this too. I tried using setparent but it doesn't seem to work with the statusbar:

I'm sure there was something more in the forum, but I can't recover it.

Thanks Haichen!
