Progressbar in Statusbar in MDI

How can I put a Progressbar in a Statusbar in a MDI-Main-Form.

If I use the code

Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

SetParent ProgressBar.hwnd, StatusBar.hwnd
ProgressBar.Top = Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
ProgressBar.Left = StatusBar.Panels(2).Left + Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
ProgressBar.Height = StatusBar.Height - Screen.TwipsPerPixelY * 2
ProgressBar.Width = StatusBar.Panels(2).Width - Screen.TwipsPerPixelX * 2

I can set the Left and Width property.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry I mean I can not set the Left and Width property.

You should be multiplying by the Screen.TwipsPerPixel instead of ADDING.

I have code to a smooth progress bar on my web page you can easily modify for this. It's in the Code Snippets section at: www.cyberchute.com/rvbus/madmark

I look in our Home Page. There are very good things there.
(But I don't found a solution for my problem)

If I will set the Progress bar left property I get this
message:

Error 387 was generated by ProgramName 'Left' property can't be set on this control

I think the problem is that the Progressbar is on a MDImainForm.
