I wonder - is there a progress bar that I could use at this situation: I have an operation and it’s impossible to estimate the time to finish it. I would like to show the progress bar so the users know it’s doing something but using the standart one is misleading because when it reaches the end I just start it again... Is there a way how to make something similar in profuis easily?

There are two solutions:

1) Use the animation control to display some small movie related to your application. For instance, Windows Explorer in Windows 2000/XP displays a movie with flying paper between two folders during file copying operation.

2) Use the endless progress bar control. Unfortunately we have no such progress bar in Prof-UIS. But you can use this one for example
