Hello Fellaws


Well today we will try our hands on customized progress bar which you can use in your JFrames without any separate Progress Bar coming out to show the progress :)


Well let me provide you a screenshot of this Customized Progress Bar

In the above screenshot the JFrame's Components gets inactive and this appears above the JFrame
NOTE: Here Mouse Clicks are inactive in the JFrame till the Progress Bar in active


Let me provide you demo code of the above GUI, which will make easy to you understand and implement it in your projects
