Marquee Style Progress Bar

[Administrator]

Hi,
I have read the MSDN Library for information on making a marquee style progress bar - one that keeps on repeating for when you're unsure of the current progress.
The two methods I can see is to CreateWindowEx with the PBS_MARQUEE style, or to SendMessage with PBM_MARQUEE.
How can I do it with the Windows Forms controls? It already creates the control with the default style; it's a sealed class I can't derive from (I was thinking of overriding the constructor). SendMessage doesn't seem to work; besides, the constant definition is inside commctrl.h which doesn't come with .NET.
Also, is it possible to do a smooth progress bar?

Thanks.
