VB.NET - How to set progress bar state (Windows Vista and 7 only)

SendMessage declaration: Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer
Code:
Normal:
SendMessage(ProgressBar1.handle, 1040, 1, 0)
Paused:
SendMessage(ProgressBar1.handle, 1040, 3, 0)
Error:
SendMessage(ProgressBar1.handle, 1040, 2, 0)
Please rate and comment :)

P.S. DO NOT USE PAUSED OR ERROR STATE PROGRESS BAR AS A SUPER COLOR FOR PROGRESS BAR, else you will notice many glitches in your super color progress bar :)
