I have tried everything to find out about the progressbar that Norton Internet Security 2006 uses during its preinstall scan. The search style of VB .NET 2005 's progressbar doesn't resemble the cool look of the one used by norton. Having checked the dependency of the Application, I found out that it uses comctl32.dll version 6.0.2600.2180. I cannot even add a reference to it in VB .NET. Can anyone tell me how do I use that control in my application? Or is it only possible in VC++ 7.1 in which Norton Internet Security was developed?

Its been a while, since this dry thread got some posts. Well... here's some screenshot of the progressbar I built (as used in Photo Downloader v 1.0.0.0). It has three styles:- Stretch, Tile & Search.
Following are the screenshots of the Tile & Search styles.
