The progress bar display is done with a programmable table containing 20 rows, each with a slightly longer bar in it. This would only be useful for work that comes in 5% increments. It seems wasteful to have so many graphics on so many rows.
A percentage done/time estimate would be nice.
It's not clear how this would be used in a context where you actually needed to display a progress bar, e.g. in an agent that's processing large numbers of documents. Is the agent supposed to compose a document and periodically update the table? It needs a class/script library that you can call from your LotusScript code to plug in the amount of work total/complated and optionally calculate the percentage and time estimate, and update the display.
