I have a for loop with 15000 iterations, and i'd like to keep track of it using a microsoft progress bar. If i update the progress back at each iteration, it takes too much time. What's the best solution?

Of course it is possible!
Even in LabVIEW 5.1.1 you can easily do this by writing to a local variable of the progress bar. Try it!

Hey thanks altenbach! I was waiting for a solution like that. I have to say, first i was surprised that labview missed a feature like this... but i didn't even know about local variables!! *ashamed*
Thanks again. Happy development.
