You could align progress bars vertically in VB6, but it seems they've taken that out in the .NET version.

The other option is to create a control that would do this. However, since it's probably been done a few times,

I would check out www.planetsourcecode.com or something similar to see if someone has already done this.

More then likely it has been done, and you don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Hmm.. i can't find any result that can help me about this there.

you've said that VB.net doesn't contain vertical progressbar, but i can import them straightly into my VB.net application. this mean i'm currently using the VB6 progressbar in my VB.Net. If i had done that, can you help me to continue solving this problem

Well, vb6 had the vertical progress bar. I'm not sure if you converted it to a .net it would remain that way.

In either case, a really quick way of setting up a vu meter was to make a vertical progress bar, with values min-0 max-100, and set the .value property to the vu 'level'.

Yes i have created a VU meter using VB6 Vertival Progress Bar.

But i'm asking about how to code that project so the VU meter can respond to my system's audio input or output signal.

Hi. I am working at VU meter at the moment and I also have the same problem.

That is, grabbing the microphone volume and show it in progress bar. Should I use winmm.dll for it in vb.net I understand that I am able to use this module to get output volume but how I should get input volume If possible, could anyone provide some simple examples on writing this in VB.net

Thanks in advance.
