Fancy Progress Bar

Ok not so fancy, here is what I want

I currently have 4 labels, and each label has a drop down combo box below it. When you choose an option from the dropdown, several things are done in the background. File copies, drive mappings, etc.

What I want to do is instead of having a label, then a progress bar beside each one, I want to have the label be the progress bar. That might be confusing, lets try this.

Progress bar in smooth mode, with a text caption. The bar fills in like a blue background in the label. That don't seem too difficult, and would be easy if the progress bar control just had a Caption or Text property.

Now I'm new to VB and I'm not sure how to use classes and make my own ActiveX controls. I completly open to suggestions on how to learn those features, but if there is a simple way to add this functionality that would work out best, we need to keep this as light as possible.

Thanks!
