I'm trying to make a simple Windows form app that does things. I'd like a box to show the progress of each step as it's doing these things. Sort of like a console output, except not on the console, but in a display box that is non-interactive to the user. What thing in the VB.NET toolbox do I use?
View 1 RepliesI have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?
I am trying to implement a BGW and want to report progress to a progress bar for my TextFieldParser program, sometimes if your opening very large files it takes a while and I would like the user to be able to see the progress and have some interaction so they know the program is still running I am a little hung up on what to in the reportprogress
I have:
worker.ReportProgress(0, myReader.ReadFields())
and its not doing anything, I didnt expect it too since ReadFields is an array

Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
Dim worker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = DirectCast(sender, System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not for this, but I'll post here until I hear otherwise. This had really become a problem for me and I can't seem to find an answer. A lot of my programs will export data to excel. When the wokbook is saved it will popup a save dialog box with a progress bar and a cancel button. The problem is the dialog box loves to steal focus. This causes a problem when for instance right now it is modifying several work books and when I'm typing I could end up hitting the space bar when the dialog box steals the focus and it will cancel the save. Is there some way to prevent the dialog from showing?
For an example this is some quick code I threw together. I have several workbooks that have more data than I need to archive. So it goes into each one and deletes those excess rows. The workbooks are in 2003 format, but I'm running 2007.

Is there a way around this?
code snippet that would allow a progress bar to track the input of a text file? Normally I would not bother with this, but the text files are > 10,000 lines long, which is noticable even on a fast machine. The number of lines is variable, so I would assume that one would not use a fixed value to calculate when the progress bar goes 100%.

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make a program where you can keep track of your progress through various projects your doing. I'd like to have it so they can add a new project via the text box/button and then when they click on that project from a listbox or something(still trying to figure out the best way) it shows the notes they have typed etc. I know how to make it so its saved when they exit and all that good stuff but I'm not sure how I would do everything else.

View 5 RepliesCurrently I have three separate save commands in my program: Write to Plain Text, Write to HTML, and Write to Excel File.
Each one is invoked by a different command on a menu. I would like to combine these three into one Save File Dialog on the program. I know that I would have to edit the "Filter" property of the dialog box to add in the other two types.
My questions, how do I code the program to save the file based off what is chosen from the filter.[code]...
I've made a program which runs smoothly on XP and also on Windows 7.But after installing it on a windows 7 machine, windows 7 immediatly shows another dialog box of the program compatibility assistent stating:(translating from Dutch, so forgive any mis-translations )
'This program may not have been installed correctly.If this program is not correctly installed, you can try to reinstall the program with compatible configuration of this version of windows.'You than have the option to reinstall the program with the advised compatible settings (?) or choose 'this program is correctly installed'.
If you choose 'reinstall with adviced compatible settings', windows 7 installs the program with 'windows XP, SP2' settings.My program uses only an access database and an internet connetion. Nothing fancy, exotic, registry items or something else.
For writing permission on the database (also win.7), I install the program in 'all users/app data', and not in 'Program Files'. I can't find anything usefull on google,

CODE:
The command procedure calls a Java program that opens a dialog box, the cmd and java exe shows up in task manager, so I know it is being called, but no dialog box. I know normally having anything show up on a server that requires user interaction is a bad idea, but in the case, the users remote into the server to do their work. (They have to because of the environment) So, there is no problem with them being able to respond to a dialog box. I just need it to show up.

View 3 RepliesI am running a test program for VB.NET, and it will simply crunch a million numbers in for loop. I've linked a variable implying the progress of the for loop with the progress bar, but it seems that when I run the program, the progress bar does not update itself. The bar itself has only value 0-100 as input (as stated in the document) and I've tested it without using the for loop, and it works.
