how to display only 1 increment on a progress bar

Perhaps I am being thick, but it seems to me impossible to display only one increment. Placing the following in the Form OnLoad event: pbarTest.Minimum = 0; pbarTest.Maximum = 10; pbarTest.Value = 0; displays a progress bar with no increments, but pbarTest.Minimum = 0; pbarTest.Maximum = 10; pbarTest.Value = 1; displays two increments. I tried using PerformStep instead but it made no difference. Anyone know a workaround or alternatively an explanation of why it works the way it does? Thanks, Chris
