Read the file in in one lump and count the \n characters. Not clever, but effective.

Progress bar on inputted text file
Instead of basing your progress through the file on the line count, try basing it on the number of bytes processed. That's what I do. CFile.GetLength() returns the total size of the file and can be called once and used when calculating your progress.
