CheckBox Background and ProgressBar fuctionality

[John Kouraklis <j_kour@hotmail.com>]

Hallo all,

I have these two problems:

1) I use a checkbox placed over a rectangular with a fill color. The strange
this is that the checkbox is not transparent. I mean that I can see the
boundaries of the checkbox having different color (that gray/silver from the
OS) and I cant find a way to change the background color for this
(rb2008r2,MacOS)

2) I have a lengthy procedure running and I am trying to use a progress bar
(rb2008r1,WinXP). What happens is that the program runs but the user cant
see the progress bar been updated because the window with the bar does not
draw  it self. The program is busy with the procedure and the window is at
an "Not Responding" state. After that I can see the bar full and the
procedure to end

Do I have to put it in a thread? But I don't want the user to do other
things. He has to wait to finish. I have tried it with a timer but the same
thing happens.

Thanks 

John
