I have a MainForm that loads a number of files and SplashScreen that is shown while the loading takes place. SplashScreen contains SplashProgressBar that I want to update as loading of the files in the MainForm goes on. I declared SplashProgressBar Public in the SplashScreen and coded a mutator for ProgressBar:

View 7 RepliesI'm using VS2010 (VB), Framework 4.0 and although I'm incrementing my progress bar value between steps, the progress bar only shows the initial value. I've set the minimum and maximum properties and the initial value, but no luck. Here's a brief summary:

I have been reading examples of using a progress bar with a background worker. All of the examples utilize a loop which is the easiest example of a progress bar. However there is the part of my code where I would like to use a background worker and progress bar. This part takes some time, thats why I want to use it. Basically its part of a DB front end where I am clearing oput 2 tables, getting data from another DB and populating the first 2 tables with the data from the first. Below is my code. How would I update a progress bar without a loop
View 1 RepliesI have recently seperated some code from my original Project and I have created a class library which is where my function resides.
originally my function was stored in my win form project and I could call this when needed and increment the progress bar for example
do
processing code
progressbar.value = x
loop until x > y
how do i do the same if my code resides in a seperate project (class library) ?

For some reason, the code to update my progress bar is not working. I uncommented the Msgbox line, and a message is only displayed at 100%. Why is this?
I am writing my first app in VBEE and require your expert assistance.Once a button is clicked in my app, a number of queries in Access 2007 are run. I would like to display the progress of these queries and send text to a text box informing the user of the progress, i.e.[code]I have entered the Text I want to display but it does not update it as it progresses through the code, instead it updates all of the text at the end, once all of the queries have been run.I would also like a progress bar to display the progress of the queries [code]
View 1 RepliesThis is starting to drive me nuts. I'm executing a DTS package from a worker thread that is calling an EventListener class to update the background worker ProgressChanged sub. As instructed, the ProgressChanged method is trying to update a progress bar to avoid thread issues but it is not working. I know the EventListener is throwing events because if I put a message box in ProgressChanged I get the package progress %. Why can't it update the progress bar?

I have a progressbar which receives the amount of Sub directorys within a main directory as a Maximum value and when i run the program It goes through the directorys to grab all the files within the subdirectory.
This is the code below which is updating the progressbar.Foldercount is an incrementer which increments by one for each folder it enters.
Dim percentage As Double = folderCount * 100 cirFolderCount.Maximum
cirFolderCount.Text = percentage.ToString
cirFolderCount.Value = Convert.ToInt32(percentage)
On the test directory which has 4 sub directorys I get a maxvalue of 4 and the min value is set to 0 The code above returns the value of 25.0 when entering the first folder which is correct (25% of 4 is 1),But the progressbar does not fill 25% of bar once this folder is processed.
My form has FOUR comboboxes populated from text files. The text files are loaded into an array into their own background process once completed are added to the combox. Due to the sheer amount of items the loading causes a lag and as the combobox are on the main GUI thread a glitch appear for several seconds. I then had an idea of loading the initial form, showing another form which is made the topmost form with a progress bar (values derived from the count of items in the arrays populated from the text files).
When I added the progress bar any other label or image on the SAME form did not show until the progress bar had completed, how can I resolve this? When I use it in conjunction with the other form i.e. using the form with the progress bar to populate the other in the background graphical glitches appear (mad transparency effect). I have the code from the form with the progress bar below:-
'Load City information
'*********************
'Set form title
Me.Text = " Application loading city lookup information ...."
'Declare string array to store list of towns
Dim citylookup() As String
[Code] .....
Why I experience the glitch (assume it's because of refreshing the item, some kind of repaint needed)? Any alternative solution to prevent the user from using the form until all the comboboxes are populated?

It works fine, but when working with very large files on the network my users sometimes panic.I'd like to add a progress bar that updates based on the progress of the hashing through the file.So, my choice are either to manually create the hashing process, which I believe will be much slower,or somehow tap in to the position value of the filestream and use that to update a progress bar.I'd be happy to tap into the events of the MD5CryptoServiceProvider if I could, but I don't see anything there.I have searched the net to try to find an example and have only found code that works by reading line by line from the filestream, not from it being passed to another control/service.
I guess that I should preface this by saying that I am totally new to VB, but I come from the PHP/MySQL world so I can work my way through things syntactically. That being said, I have made a program that expedites a few things that I do on a routine basis at my place of work. However, because I have no idea what I'm really doing, my app logs up while the UI thread does all the background work.
What I am trying to accomplish, is a few things. Have multiple functions/subs [done]Somehow generate a generic method that executes a sub when called (one at a time, always)My already coded subs return values (for updating a progress bar for example) but have the background thread that spawns the function, update my UI threads progress bar / list box with the output.I guess I want to know if this is even doable, and secondarily, how would I go about doing this? I understand the idea of threading, but all of the tutorials that I have seen / read are pretty convoluted.
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())

The mechanism works fine, but I want to add a progress bar to follow the progress of the files in the queue: processing 1 of 10......2 of 10......3 of 10 etc.For testing, I created a batch file to simulate the creation of files, so the filesystemwatcher can to his work and place the files in the queue. When I tell the batchfile to simulate the creation of 20 files, I see that the amount of files in the queue change. For example;

In the app I'm currently making, I have two progress bars. One for current task being committed and the other is for overall progress.During runtime, I calculate how many tasks are being run and set that as the maximum. As each task completes, the progress bar is incremented by one.
I want the current task progress bar to show the progress of the current task. Some tasks can take a few minutes to complete so that progress bar works great. But, if the task is super quick, like editing registry keys, I see no progress at all.When I edit the registry, it basically goes like this:
'Edit Key
'x
'x
'x
ProgressBar1.PerformStep()[code].....
It completes so quickly that I never see the bar even move.I also have each task report its name into a label and it skips ahead so quickly that I only see the first task name and the last.Is there any way to make this do a better job at reporting the progress?
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.

Been taking a programming class in school for the last year and we haven't really done anything with a progress bar so I was curious to see what I can do with it. I found some basic code to see how it worked and I get it.[code]However, instead of having a fixed time, I want the maximum to represent the time it takes for something to be done whether it be loading a new form, searching for something, etc. I don't know if that made sense, but basically I want the progress bar to react accordingly to the time it takes to do something.For example, in this little test project I just want the progress bar to represent the time it takes to load form2. I believe you'd have to change the maximum. However, I don't know how to get Form2's load time to be able to put it in the progress bar's maximum.
