Progress Bar

I am using an existing Visio 2003 drawing and it has a progress bar imbedded
in the drawing. Has anyone ever used a progress bar and how do I manipulate
the progress bar?

Does the progress bar have green bars? If so then this is the standard
progress bar shape provided in Visio Professional. To change the %age
shown move the yellow control handle.
If it's some other type then maybe there is something on the
right-click menu to change it. If not that then check to see if there
are any custom properties associated with the shape.

Thanks Paul. It was a field in custom properties. I hate working with some
else's drawings.

I am using Visio 2003 and can see the yellow control handle to change the %
However, when i choose custom properties it says none and asks me if i want to add new customer properties
I am looking for a property that will set the % of the bar

I want to update visio diagram programmatically using visual studio 2008 and need a property of the progress bar that will set it to desired %

I have another question too:
Let's say i have a collection of 5 shapes in the visio diagram. I want to name this collection say obj1, now i duplicate this to 10 times.
So we have obj1, obj2, ...obj10
How do i really duplicate so that i can read each object and each shape within via C#/VB.net?
say
obj1.progressbar
obj1.process
obj1.card
obj2.progressbar
obj2.process
....

On visio diagram, for each control placed, it doesn't any name to it that can be used to refer from a program.
I can create a custom property 'name' but then the value can be repeated for many controls and won't be unique

Thanks

You can set this by setting the formula in the cell Controls.Row_1
0% can be set by the formula Width*0
50% by Width*0.5
100% by Width*1
You can probably guess any intermediate steps.

Select the five objects, edit, paste.
