I just added the progress bar to my Stunt Marble Racers project. Works fine, no problems (although I renamed the class from IProgressBar to CProgressBar ). Btw: I am using Code::Blocks as IDE.

Your version now creates a copy, which works with temporaries as arguments, but requires additional cycles on each call. With your original version using a reference, the temporary cannot be used as an argument.

right, but I doubt this realy matters for a constructor...

Thanks!
sorry I wasn't really paying attention to my post.
the first answer was the problem.

The problem with this implementation is that the position setting does not take into account the element's parent's position so the call to the IVideoDriver drawing methods will draw the progress bar at an absolute position regardless of the parent window/element updates.

My plan is to do a rewrite of this, as the basic idea is sound. Another addition I'm thinking about is to do it all with textures. i.e create a border and background texture with the video driver in construction but also add an override for user supplied textures which should allow the class to draw either a normal coloured pbar or a texture supplied pbar using the same logic.
