Przemek,

I am not sure this is the best list for this. Are you in a threaded
application? It will make some of a difference. But here is some
information that may help.

In this case libcurl is in a loop until it finishes so you will send
the message PBM_SETPOS but draw will never happen. To try and force
a draw send WM_DRAW to the window. It might need to be WM_UPDATE.

Your problems are much more an issue of not understanding the Windows
API than anything to do with the libcurl API.

Hope that helps. When trying to solve a problem like this I also
find it helpful to just write the code for the UI. Make a simple
program that progresses the UI bar. Then add this to the libcurl
code. I think you will find more success this way.
