.Net ProgressBarStyle.Marquee As A Background Process?
Apr 24, 2012
I wanted a ProgressBarStyle.Marquee animation while a query is running. I don't want the user to think the application is locked up. it's really not progress just MarqueeAnimation. the issue I have is it's not running as a thread or in the background.
Private Sub ButtonExcute_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonExcute.Click
ProgressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Marquee
ProgressBar1.MarqueeAnimationSpeed = 60
ProgressBar1.Refresh()
[code]....

I have the following sub that displays the progress (the Animation speed is 50 - but I've tried with other values)
[Code]...
I should mention that the control is created dynamically and placed on a dynamically created TabPage that in turn is added to the main tab control that is on the static form (Form1) that is refreshed - but I do believe that 'Refresh' should ripple though to all sub controls?

I have created a listbox with several items that when a button is clicked, it opens up the application that uses that file and then starts the file. this all works fine, but I wanted to know if there is a way to show a marquee-type progress bar for each process as it's being opened?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem = "ITEM ONE" Then
Process.Start("c:\DIRECTORY\ITEMONE.exe")
End If

I'm using sendinput to send keystrokes to external applications launched from my main application. However , the only way I have been able to get it to work is by focusing the external application then sending input. I want to know how to use sendinput to send keys to a background process without giving it focus.

Instead of making a WinForm for my application, is there any way to let it operate in the background without a form or anything?

I am working on a project and i have come to designing my splash screen... i dont want a useless one what just shows a loading bar what does nothing, im trying to make it useful and show while the main form is loading however this is proving to be a pain in the backside.. i can make the splash screen load when the exe is executed then close when the form is ready but i want to add an animation to the form (just a moving logo) this is just done by me running an timer what changes the location at each tick.. i can get it to work well on its own but when i add frmMain.show() to the code to load the program the animation will not work... i only get this when i ask the program to load the main form..

on the loan of my application i created a background_worker to pre-load some of my child forms. here is the problem - it seems that the forms gets loaded into the second process and it wont have any affects on the original process .
In another words when i try to show the preloaded form nothing is displayed. How can i ask the background process to "Merge" with the main process when it is completed! i am not sure if merge is the best word to describe what i am trying to do here!!!
also if i try to re load the form that was created by the main process i will get exception saying you can't change one some that was created by another process

I'm developing app in VB.NET 2008.
I have one prob that i'm creating excel sheet runtime, loading data and printing excel sheet through my application. Actually it has 150 sheets to print.
i'm printing by using this code
xla.Sheets.PrintOut(Copies:=1, Collate:=True)
To print 150 sheets , its taking around 17 min. so now the user is waiting until printing process finish(ie 17 min ) .
actually i don't want to make him wait, i want to execute this printing process in backgroud. so the user can work on other process in my app.
how to print this in background ?

What I'm trying to do is show a form while a background process is running. Similar to a progress bar but not a progress bar. We have a form that has an animated gif (customer request) and that's it. no other controls. They want this form to show while the processing in the background is running.

I develop an appliaction which is running a process in the background. This process is "forked" from the application (I'm not using threads). The process may take a few minutes while the 'father' application is waiting to the process output, so I'd like to enhance the application with the following:
a) a "Stop" button (like in IE, FireFox) to stop the process in background
b) A status bar that displays what's going on while the process is running in BG.
how to draw a button or status bar of course... I mean how VB.NET handle with stopping or displaying while something else is running in background and how to do it.

I have got a couple of VB Powerpack Ovalshapes on my Form.I use these for a quick indication if the networked device is online or offline.I can't seem to control the Visible function (or any other function for that matter) one my Background Worker is running.For my Textboxes I used a guide by jmcilhinney which worked great for them but there is no 'Invoke' property for graphics controls.

I have a spreadsheet that contains details of change requests; one row per request. This information needs to be copied into a Word form for sending off to our customer who then completes the response section. To speed up this process I have written some code that utilises the mail merge feature of Word and merges the relevant info from the spreadsheet into a Word form. This runs from Excel when a button is pressed.The problem comes when I go to save the workbook and exit Excel; it stays running in the background as a process in task manager.
[URL]
I'm fairly sure it has something to do with the merge code itself but my knowledge of VB is enough to grasp what is happening but not why it is happening. If I open the Word doc that has the merge fields in it, then open the spreadsheet that houses the info Excel says the workbook is already open.

From time to time, I see people asking about how to make marquee text. I recently wrote a marquee class I figured I would share, in case anyone finds this useful.
Heres The Class:
Public Class Marquee
Private _CurrentText As String = "Paul's Custom Marquee"
Private _text As String = "Paul's Custom Marquee"

I've got a form that has a ProgressBar on it. The Style is set to Marquee. In the Form.Shown event handler, I call BackgroundWorker. RunWorkerAsync(). In the old version, while this is occurring in the background, the ProgressBar is scrolling, which is exactly what I want.I copied over not only the code from within the file (i.e., the logic code) but also the code from the designer file. So, from what I can tell, there should be NOTHING different between the two files. However, in the new version, the marquee scroll doesn't occur.

Is it possible to have the title bar of your application be a marquee? The only way I know of to make a marquee currently is this:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Left = Label1.Left - 10
[CODE]...
All that does is make "Label1" move from right to left across the form.. is having a marquee in the title bar possible?

I am successfully trying to send an email message through my windows form. The only problem is when i click the button to send mail it is not showing the prograssbar. It shows after a delay or sometimes doesn't show at all.Is it due to the event handler? I have no clue and all i need to first show is the progressbar when the send button is clicked and then when sending message is successful or unsuccessful then hide progressbar and display the Txtmessage.text.
Public Sub SendEmail()
ProgressBar1.Visible = True
Dim client As New SmtpClient()
Dim sendTo As New MailAddress(To.Text)

I need help with the progress bar control. I can only get it to show or display in the Marquee mode, even though I have tried setting it to Continuous and Blocks. I have tried setting it programmatically at run time and in the IDE properties. I get the Marquee style every time no matter what I do. What am I missing here? I must be doing something wrong somewhere!Paul Abell

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

Intent: To teach the user how to create a control that scrolls text at an adjustable speed across the control.What you'll need:Visual Studio.NET (2002 or 2003) - The version I built this with is 200325 Minutes of free timeI don't remember what prompted me to create this control, except that I was sitting at my desk one day and thought to myself?
1. First open the Visual Studio IDE.
2. Select 'New Project'.
3. From the project languages, select 'Visual Basic'.
4. From the project types, select 'Windows Control Library'.
5.Once the initial project has finished loading there's a couple of things that you may want to do first. The first one being, change the control name to something that means something. "UserControl1" just won't do, so in the 'Solution Explorer' right click on the "UserControl1.vb" file and click 'Rename'. Without removing the '.vb' file extension, type the name of the control. In this case lets call it 'ScrollingMarquee.vb'.
6. Now back to the control design area. Add a timer control to your project from the toolbox. Set the enabled property to 'True' and set the interval to 100. Right click on the control area (the actual control itself, not the timer) and click on 'View Code'. This will take you to the code area of project.
7. Enter the code as is written displayed below.
Code:Imports System.DrawingImports System.Drawing.Drawing2DImports System.ComponentModel
Public Class ScrollingMarque Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
[code]....
Just want to make sure that each time we move the control or resize it,'it re-renders correctly.Invalidate()End SubEnd Class8.Next select 'Build -> Build ScrollingMarquee'.9. Once you have any bugs worked out (there shouldn't be any, but in case there are), you can change the build mode to release and rebuild the control for use in your projects.
