Im having some trouble with my progress bars in VB.Net. I am currently making a 2d game for a college assignment. The problem is i have one for health and one for reloading the reload bar works fine but when i try to code the health bar i think it conflicts with the other Progress bar [Code]
View 3 RepliesI had some trouble a while back with my progress bars exceeding their maximum sizes. I though I had fixed the problem but obviously I was wrong every time the maximum size is exeeded the application enteres debugging mode .... this is really frustrating as the progress bars are a major factor in the game...
What I have is one progress bar which is linked to a clock the clock which ticks up to 1:30 and the game then ends. I also have another progress bar showing the health of the shooter.
I have a series of collision codes set up which are linked to these progress bars, that add to them and take from them.
'Heath pick up collision code...
If (HPU.Top + HPU.Height >= Shooter.Top) And (HPU.Top <= Shooter.Top + Shooter.Height) And (HPU.Left + HPU.Width >= Shooter.Left) And (HPU.Left <= Shooter.Left + Shooter.Width) And HPU.Visible = True Then

I have tried re-routing the overload so that if it cannot add no more to the progress bars it adds nothing to them.
I came across a problem in my program it takes too long to calculate the values needed (about 10 sec) .But thats not the problem you don't know when the program is working or not, as it just locks up until its finshed and I view that as a problem.
I need to be able to show the progress of this .I looked at using background Workers but I get exception "Object reference not set to an instance" I believe this is because the background worker cannot write values or something ,As it works will a normal handler.

how can i implement a progress bar in a program that copies files from one place to another
View 5 RepliesIve been trying to work with looping code and get messeges like this.
[Code]...
But that is not important this moment... How would I set a code too use the progress bar? So As it loops at a certain rate {Lets say 1000 (1 sec)} It would show the progress. Currently using it to 1 - 50. (Note: The rate is not important as I know how to set that) EDITEDITEDIT: Thanks for the info so far, But regarding my other thread about hotkeys that I marked "Resolved"

View 4 RepliesI have a progress bar on a Windows Form which displays the number of records as they are retrieved from the database.The problem I'm having is that the entire Form.Load() method seems to run prior to the form being displayed, which means all my code updating the progress bar is gone to waste.
View 4 RepliesI noticed that adding a MenuStrip (from the Toolbox) to my form design doesn't yield a menu bar like many native Windows applications. Instead I get a menu bar like Visual Studio's own. None of the style settings for MenuStrip appear to mimic the much more common native menu bar.Is there a way to add a menu bar to my Windows Forms application that looks the same as the one you see in Notepad, Task Manager and others? (Preferably with the designer, but I wouldn't mind adding it programmatically either.)
View 3 Replies2 questions:
1. How, programmatically, can you tell if a progress bar is at its max?
2. If it's at it's max, how can you reset it to zero?
currently i am using a threadpool that contain a number of thread. This number of thread can be different everytime, sometimes 5, sometimes 10, sometimes 15 and so on (multiple of 5). So now i have it working good by using for loop to queue the thread into threadpool. Now the problems is i do not know how to make the progress bar depending on my threadpool. I want my progress bar to complete only when all the thread are done. After searching google, i found that maybe it can be solve by using AutoResetEvent(false), but after i apply to my program, it still did not work, my program hang at xEvent.WaitOne() method and didnt proceed further, anyone can explain to me how to solve the problem? Or got any other ways? For your information, only 5 threads can be running at the same time as the requirement state so (so i set the setmaxthread to 5 already).
View 1 Repliesi have a form that takes a long time to open (because of the volume of data and the devexpress scheduler controls on it). I would like to pop up a progress bar (embedded in a form) to show until the form loads and is finished loading.i added two public methods in the My.MyApplication class...the form with the progress bar shows, but is stuck and doesn't animate.i figure that i need to open this form in a separate thread, but have done no work with multithreading.[code]is there an easy way to make this form always open in a different thread so that it will animate and show my "loading.."

View 1 RepliesI am wondering how do I update a Progress Bar that resides in Form1 (for example) from a newly created class called from the Button in Form1. I have read several tutorial about backgroundworker. Most of the googled tutorials have their "long process code" in the do_work event. I have tried them and got it working from within the form itself.
However, there are 2 parts (long process) in which I wish to incorporate the updating of the progress bar; First one being a long sub routine that is in the main form (Form1). The second one is another long processing function that resides in a class. It is the second one that is giving the problem as I have no idea how to call the backgroundworker.reportProgress() to update the UI.
Here is the sample flowchart that I have created for the second long processing function:
I wish to insert a new instruction that says "Update the Progress bar that is in Form1" after the current instruction "Store the member into a collection".
I want to make an app that gets the progress bar to 'pulse'
My code doesnt seem to work though!?!?!
Public Class Form1
Dim Value
Dim NoValue = "Add"

I am new to VS 2008.. It is possible to change the progress bar loading color (green) to other color? How to change it?
View 3 Repliesso what I want to do should be pretty simple. I've been following the examples found here Using the BackgroundWorker Component - VBForums . I've been successful, but I'm not smart enough to put it in my project.
What I'd like to happen is this
1. I hit a button to load data from a dataset....
2. have a progress bar show until this action is complete.
The main problem is that I can't figure out how to tie the "progress bar" to the action of "pulling the dataset"
I'm sure this is a crazy question for you all, but hey...
Would I put all of the coding in the button_Click sub?
I'm using vs2008 programming in vb.net. I'm currently working on a project that reads miscellaneous text files and imports data into a sql database accordingly (Reads line, imports, loops until finished). There are 75k-150k imports to do. I tested it out the other day before using a progress bar, it takes about 5-10 minutes and works fine.
The issue I have is that while importing, if you click anywhere on the form, it will say not responding and will continue to import, but users using the program might be mistaken and think the program has locked up. I thought a progress bar would solve this, since it is responding back while the imports are going on in the background. However, the progress bar works, but as soon as you click anything on the form, it again says not responding and the progress bar stops moving (the imports will complete however). How can I isolate this import process so it can do this in the background, but will not affect the rest of the program?

View 1 RepliesI have a asp.net web form which will submit information to come as emails. Whenever user fill the form and click on submit button,the information user entered will be sent as email.This web form has 4 page. but the web form will not use all 4 page on all requests.
if the user select a particular value in first page, the form will bypass the 3rd page and go the last 4th page(like...page1,2,4). IF it is any other values selected in the first page. form will navigate as page1,2,3,4.
So now my problem is when multiple users access the same website, the value in the first page get combines from different users and the form will act abnormally.Sometime it will bypass sometimes it will not bypass the page3
Show below is the variable decalrations:
Public strRoleType As String = String.Empty
Protected Shared isAreaSelected As Integer = 0
Protected Shared isStoreSelected As Integer = 0
Protected Shared isHeadOfficeSelected As Integer = 0
Protected Shared isRegionSelected As Integer = 0
I guess the problem is with strRoleType variable whether it is getting values from different users.

Is there anyway to complete a progress bar just by going ProgressBar1.Value = 100 when you want it to finish. I have a button which starts a countdown, I need the progress bar to complete when countdown reaches 0. Ive already used the step version, but when I want to alert the length of the countdown, the progress bar finishes too late or too early.
