    A Macro for progress bar in status bar as a percent of time

    I have been looking for a macro (and have failed to find one) that would give a progress bar in status bar as a percent of the macro run time, e.g

    If I had a macro that took say 5 minutes (which I would know in advance) to run is there a way to have a progress bar in status bar that would progress incrementally as a percentage of the 5 minutes or even simpler break the 5 minutes into 1 minute increments?

    I apologize if I have not been clear.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Try the following code which uses Unicode to simulate bars. I was unable to generate color. There is some code out there that uses color and a lot of other fancy things on the 'Status Bar', but I believe it requires API code.
