Without actually seeing how you're communicating with the progress window
it's a bit difficult to make a reccomendation. To illustrate how I might

No data binding. Here's what I'm doing...
[Sample start]
'create a progress window
Dim progDlg As New Banner
progDlg.TextBox1.Text = "Please Wait..."
'set the progress bar to start pos
progDlg.ProgBar.Increment(10)
progDlg.Show()
[Sample End]

Are you using databinding?
Can you post some code...
