VS 2010 Backgroundworker With Marquee Progress Bar?
Apr 27, 2010
i have a standard login form that allows the user to enter username and password and click OK or cancel. I have a progress bar called pbLaunch with the visible property set to false and the animation set to marquee. when the user clicks OK i would like to run a separate thread called bgwProgress that makes the progress bar visible and fires up the marquee just to show that something is happening while form1 loads up.....so far i'm stuckn the ok click event i have the following:
Try
Dim bgwProgress As New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
bgwProgress.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True
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.
I have some issues with background worker progress reporting functionality. I'm implementing a progress indicator and even if I marked the backgroundworker as report progress (true), it won't report progress until it finish the job.
The code is like this:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork action_1()
[code]....
The result is as expected (label1 with 100 value) but only when worker finished all the steps. If I'm triggering a messagebox in ProgressChange I see two message windows at the end of DoWork handle.
I'm using Windows XP and VB.net 2005. I've search for information on how to use the BackgroundWorker to display a ProgressBar during a process and thought I had it correct, but appearently I don't - the bar never shows, much less moves. My goal is to have a Marquee Style progress bar display while my code is looping thru a query result populating a datatable that a DataGridView is binded. Here is my code.
I have a VB.NET 2010 app that uses a backgroundworker to process MS Word docs. All of the code does what it is supposed to do, except when my code calls ReportProgress(). The UI cannot process the ProgressChanged event fast enough before the values in the class that are passed are changed. I know this because I inserted a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100) line after each ReportProgress() call which allows time for the UI to make the updates properly. I guess I am looking for a better solution thanThread.Sleep(100) since this adds to the amount of time it takes to process all of the files. Here are some snippets of code that I am using:
There is a question that I have from YEARS after working with DotNetBar Components that How do you set the Marquee style of a normal progress bar on the circular one? The circular progress bar from DotNetBar, i want to be clear.There is no "Style" Property and now I really need to know it for a project I'm doing now
I was wondering if there was a way to get the marquee of a progress bar to change direction when the marquee gets to the end of the progress bar and vice versahere is a small diagram to show you what i mean[---][*--][-*-][--*][-*-][*--][---] = progress bar* = marquee
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 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 am using backgroundworker thread in my app. I also have a class in my project and am able to updated the user UI from the form, but most of my time consuming operation happens in the class so I tried to do an update like this Form1.BackgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(4, strname), but I get an error that say that the backgroundworker is not set to report progress.
I have this set in the load event for the app.Are you not able to call form items like this from a class?
I have created a simple Backgroundworker process to copy a large file (30GB). Is there any way to report the progress of that file copy?
I'm using System.IO.File.Copy to perform the copy. I've seen a few posts/blogs that suggest comparing the bytes copied with the size of the source file but that seems like a huge overhead in this case.
Got a bit of a weird problem with a progress bar. I'm using a backgroundworker, which calls a "Process" function in a different class. The function goes about its business, and sends an update back to the form displaying the progress bar. What I'm finding is that its doing everything right, except update the progress and a label on the form. I've put breakpoints in to check the values of variables being sent to the form, and they're correct. I've also checked the value/maximum of the progress bar during the same break as I step through, and they're being set correctly.
they're just not displaying their updated status. I've tried refresh and application.doevents, to no avail. When the backgroundworker is complete, the values of the progress bar/label are as if I've never touched them! When the worker is complete, the Close button is enabled, so I know its finished. Anybody got any pointers/thoughts on this because I've been battling with this for a day and a half so far. I'm using the same technique as I've used elsewhere in the app to do similar backgroundworker progress updates, but this one refuses to work properly.
I am currently trying to develop an application which will backup large folders to a specified destination. To find all the files in the specified 'backup' directory I am using the following code.

I have tried putting my GetFilesRecursive function into a separate background worker to run first so I can update the GUI however I am struggling on how to return the List of found files back to my application (I get cross-threading exception) and how to update the progress bar to show the progress of the GetFileRecursive function so the user knows it is processing the list of files and has not crashed/frozen.
Here's my code : VB 'Clearing the selected items of the listview ListView1.SelectedItems.Clear() 'Random selection of farms from the listview Dim random As New Random() Dim rand As Integer = random.[Next](0, ListView1.Items.Count) [Code] .....
I'm running it under a BGW and it works fine but is there anyone who can comment on it and make my code a bit better. I've a background worker and I am running it again and again on the RunWorkerCompleted like this VB Private Sub BGW_RunWorkerCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles BGW.RunWorkerComplete BGW.RunWorkerAsync() End Sub Is it bad coding or is there any alternative to run it?
I'd like to have a backgroundworker process data that will eventually populate a gridview in my windows form. I need to use a backgroundworker because the process takes a little while, normally causing the program to slow/freeze until it's opening and streaming connections.. So, I'm using a background worker to perform these methods.How can I take the data from the background worker (on a separate thread than the UI) and use it to populate controls in the UI?
I cannot figure this one out.. I have a background worker that will perform a task streaming data from some webpages. this data is then passed back and displayed in a gridview. It has been working fine.
I've recently implemented a listbox, which its values will be passed into the function that the background worker will perform as parameters, originally i had taken a single value from a textbox.
Now, I thought maybe it had something to do with the listbox, so I used a static value, just a simple String, as the parameter, and again, I get the TargetInvocationException was unhandled.. There's no difference in how I perform the task I'm trying to have the backgroundworker complete, the only difference is where it exists in my if condition statement:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles ScrapeSites.DoWork Dim results As ArrayList Dim worker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = DirectCast(sender, System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)
I have a class that downloads a specific file from the net.This class uses a BackgroundWorker. I tried to implement kleinma's Download Files From Web With Progressbar [URL]../showthread.php?t=396260), but I'm having difficulties making it work. I'm including a test project, so if someone is willing to take a look at it, it would be great .
The part I'm having trouble with is updating the progressbar and progress label. The errormessage I receive is in Norwegian, but it has something to do with threads. I suppose I should use Invoke or something, but I don't know where to start..
I'm struggling with a thing or two...and i've read some stuff about the backgroundworker but im stuck Basically what i have is a : PUBLIC FUNCTION TEST (path as string) : which at the end of work , adds an item to the form1.listbox. That works quite nice but freezes the app. I've tried using the backgroundworker, the function in the background worker seems to work nicely, the bad thing is that i dont get any results in the form1.listbox.
I've wrote this code to accomplish what the image below looks like. This works fine for anything that is around 40x40 but if I try to do 100x100 it takes forever and sometimes errors out with a window handle error. Once it gets around the 40th column the labels start adding slower and slower. Is there anything I can do to make this more efficient? I added the backgroundworker routine in there to see if it would speed things up at all but it doesn't.
vb.net Private Sub CreateGrid(ByVal rows As Integer, ByVal ranges As Integer) If Me.InvokeRequired Then
I am trying to create a tool which executes some oracle procedures and telnet commands. Besides this Job my tool also needs to update a counter in some table in oracle db at regular intervals(10 secs as per current settings). So I used backgroundworker class in VB.NET to implement this back ground job of updating the counter. My problem is I have put logs at every possible exit of the backgroundworker_dowork functions but still this logic stops working after some time --7-8 hours. I am not able to understand when/where/why/how is it stopping? I am saying logic has stopped because it stops incrementing the counter. And am saying it is exiting abruptly because in _RunWorkerCompleted, I have written a log and closed the application but nothing comes in the log and application is not exiting.
Private Sub backlogicthread_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles backlogicthread.DoWork WriteLog("Background worker", "entered") dbbackcontrol = New OracleConnection(odbcBill) Dim dr As OracleDataReader [Code] .....
I have a backgroundworker that is downloading data from different webpages and process them to a datagridview.I get the Cross-thread operation not valid error on the first For loop.
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork dim i as integer tot = (numPostnrTo.Value - numPostnrFrom.Value) / 10
I want to execute a few external apps, where in between a RichTextBox gets updated.. Say when program1 has been startet the RichTextBox is updated.. And when program2 has been startet the RichTextBox is beeing updated again.So what i've done so far is this:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
[code]....
But when doing the above i get the following error:
Quote:
Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'RichTextBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
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'm stuck on a progress bar problem. I just wanted to know how I would go about getting the value of a progress bar, and converting it to a string to display in a label. I am doing a task with the progressbar, and I wanted to know how to get the value of the progress bar, and display it in a label above of it.
