You can easily add a progress bar by using the C1ProgressBar class and members to customize the progress bar. A progress bar can be used to indicate the progress of a lengthy operation. The progress bar consists of an area that is filled from left to right as an operation progresses.

1. On the Form in Design view, click once on the C1TaskDialog component to select it.
2. Navigate to the Properties window and locate and expand the ProgressBar item.
3. Click the drop-down area next to the State item and select Indeterminate.
4. Click the drop-down area next to the Visible item and select True.
