Description

There are many more things possible with Delphi than one can make up from the poor help files that accompany it. There is virtually no conceptual help available from the standard help file, and that is just what can be so helpful for programming. I always try to not use any 3rd party component, so I can publish my stuff where and how I like it. Do not use 3rd party components if you do not have to, apart from the fact that doing it yourself gives much more satisfaction.

This very short tutorial shows you how to add a progress bar to any web browser programs you make in less than 2 minutes. It is very basic, and kept as short as possible, you can figure out most of the code just by looking at it. Aimed at beginners, this gives you an easy and quick way to have a working progress bar which informs the user of the progress the web browser is making. You can then focus on the other tasks like for instance the graphical representation to make it the way you want it. Included is the completed example. I hope this little bit of conceptual knowledge will help you. I like to hear your opinion, comments, problems you may have while using this helpfile, this goes for all of my published stuff, please email me.
