Progress-O-Doom
By BoneSoft
A set of pluggable progress bar components
Introduction
For reasons I can't explain, I have an irrational fascination with progress bars. Over the years, I'd see a progress bar I liked, and would try to recreate it in C# for my own use. This resulted in several concrete implementations that all shared a relatively small set of functionality in a single parent class. Then, not long ago, I saw several that I wanted to implement, but I wasn't interested in writing them from the ground up. However, I noticed that they all shared a lot of characteristics. Then, it finally dawned on me that I could build almost all of those examples and many more with a set of pluggable components that would paint certain parts of the progress bars. This project is the result of that revelation.
