Need help with VB progress dialog

How can I display a progress dialog from within a Visual Studio 2008 IDE macro?

I’m a C++ programmer who is trying to write some IDE macros to automate
various things that I do all the time—such as inserting blocks of text,
reformatting sections of code, etc.. The macro that I’m developing works
fine, but it can take a long time to complete, so I’d like to display a
dialog while the macro is running to show the progress of the operation. The
IDE does display a spinning icon on the status bar whenever a macro is
running, but I want something that is a bit more informative. And I’d like to
be able to cancel the remainder of the operation at any time.

I have limited VB experience, so it’s probably best to assume that I know
next to nothing.

Can someone show me how to do this? Maybe there’s a sample somewhere that I
can modify to suit my needs? Even some code to display a modeless dialog
would help me get started.

This group is about VB6 and lower, might I suggest searching for
a .net group of some sort, to call it vb.general might be missleading
but that is how I have seen this group. A VB classic group might have
been a better name. (but I think thats a project name of some sort
too)

The VB "classic" groups have been around a long time, long before VB.net.
Because of UseNet archives (and continuity), it was best to leave the
existing VB groups for "classic" VB and create the new groups for the dotnet
flavor... or the dotnetters would get even more confused when they search
and get posts from 10 years ago.
