No worries, thats just me being a dough-head, just putting in misc. messages ... format of the AddLabel method is:

$Label = $Form.AddLabel(Left,Top,Width,Height,Caption)

so, they are just strings that get plugged into the GUI ... The AddLabel() method seems to make sense ... thanks for the help.

While I was porting LOGINSCREEN.EXE, I came to the realization that even though I liked that control alot, it was VERY crude in terms of being able to customize it. It only had about 4 or 5 BUILTIN controls, a couple of labels, a progressbar and a Bitmap ... so I just borrowed the control creation from Kixforms.

So right now, I got support for the LoginBox (form), the Label and the ProgressBar. Just those three controls alone are enough to build some impressive progress dialog boxes ...
