title: Custom progress bar in .NET CF
body: <p>I want to have my own progress bar in .net compact framework, instead of default wait cursor.
  I have tried with a form, having only a progress bar, and showing and hiding the form when I want to show some background activity running, but that does not update the progress bar.
  I have found out that it needs to be on different thread. I am quite weak at threads, I cant get it working.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me out.
  Thanks in advance.</p>
