Hi everyone, please can anyone show me how to show a progress bar while copying a file. I tried using SetTimer() but i does not work the way i want it i.e the file gets copied after the given time has finished.

I am not sure about your code but you should put following code in constructor or init method,
m_progress.SetRange(0,100);
m_progress.SetPos(0);and StepIt() in a timer procedure,
m_progress.StepIt()

What functions are you using to do the copying? win32 api CopyFileEx() will call your function for each portion of the file that has been copied, allowing it to update the progress bar.
