EZSnakeCtrl-Indefinite Cyclic Progress control

Environment: Visual C++ 6 (SP2), Windows 98

I got the hunch from Netscape’s progress control in the status bar.
Since most of the complexity is hidden in the implementation, using this
is as easy as using a normal progress bar. This control is not derived
from CProgressBarctrl but from CStatic to ensure simplicity and efficiency.
An imitation of Netscape status bar as well as a dialog based demo like
that of CGradientProgress is included in the sample zip file. If
this control is used in a dialog box, simply put a CStatic Place holder
in the dialog and subclass it to CEZSnakeCtrl. Now you can customize the
look & feel of the control. Various options available are:

 //Get & Set The Maximum value of the progress control
 //0 is assumed as the minimum.
 int GetMax();
 void SetMax(int nMax);
 //Get & Set the size of the snake
 int GetSize();
 void SetSize(int nSize);
 //Get & Set the the Steps ->unit increment
 int GetStep();
 void SetStep(int nStep);
 //Get The Head Position
 int GetPos();
 //Get The tail position
 int GetTail();
 //Get the direction of the snake
 BOOL IsReverse();
 //Get & Set the Gradient begin & end colors
 COLORREF GetGradientEndColor();
 COLORREF GetGradientStartColor();
 void SetGradientFill(COLORREF clrStart,COLORREF clrEnd);
 //Get & Set Background color
 COLORREF GetBkColor();
 void SetBkColor(COLORREF clrFG);
 //Operations<>BR
 int StepIt();//Move the snake.
 void ResetProgress();//reset the snake

I think the demo project can do rest of the explaining.
