Show Animated Gif During Busy Process Or Loading?
Feb 10, 2009
Im trying to show animated gif during busy process or loading. but it isn;t working rite. the gif stops to animate when loading instead and animates only when no loading is n progress. what i have done is to show formB from the formA. i load the gif into the picbox in formA and crete a new thread which will be opening another formB.
dim loadThread As Threading.Thread
LoadingGif()
loadThread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf loadingForm)
loadThread.Start(formB)
but the gif doesn;t move at all unless another form is displayed.

I have a window application develpoed in vs 2008, framework 3.5, in which i have put a button.. Now where i click that button the other text boxes are filled up with the data from database thru web service.. what i want is while all text boxes are being filled i want to show an animated loading gif image till data loading is completed in all the text boxes.. i have tried to use image picture box but while data is loading gif image is displyes but in static mode.. cant see animation... i think this is because data loading and animation both are done thru one UI thread..

CurrForm = sender

This code is used to load a PDF in a PDF viewer. Because the PDFs are sometimes huge and there is no idea on how fast the machines are that will access the app, I have created a form to show that the program is busy thus the "ShareClass.LoadingIndicator" routine.
Here is the ShareClass.LoadingIndicator Routine:
Shared Sub LoadingIndicator()
Dim frm As New LoadingIndicator
frm.TransparencyKey = Color.Magenta
[CODE]...
The problem I have is that when the app runs and these subs fire, the LoadingIndicator form shows up but the ProgressBar1 and Label1 show as all black on the screen. I tried to make a screen shot of this but the screen shot showed nothing as if the form wasn't even there. How can I resolve this? What I would like to do is make the LoadingIndicator form be borderless so it appears as a label and progressbar laid ontop of the loading PDF reader as the PDF loads. If I take the transparency off it works fine.

This is all VB2008. I'm working on a plugin for an app which expects it's plugin dlls to be named something other than "dll" (in this case, it wants them named with a ".plugin" extension. I can compile my .net dll just file, copy it and rename it to *.plugin and move it over to the application folder, Run the app and everything works just fine.
But I can't debug the dll in VS. VS doesn't know that I copied it so it can't load that DLL and attach to it's process for debugging. I've searched for ways to change the default extension of files that VS builds, but so far haven't turned up anything. Even just a way to attach to the process once it's renamed to *.plugin.

Value of '-1' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum'. on e.currentprogress

So I'm new to Ajax. I have an ASP.NET wizard panel wrapped in an ASP Ajax UpdatePanel. The Ajax is working well, with the page doing partial updates as you step through the wizard. I'm even firing an animated gif images using the unblockUI.js jQuery library to prevent multiple page submits.

I'm trying to show message "Loading..." when a user select an item in the dorp down list.
Mark up:
<asp:Label ID="lbl_LoadingMessage" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl_Chapter" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True">
</asp:DropDownList>
[Code]....
The method I'm using above is not working. When I select a new item from the drop down list, it works as expected except the message "Loading..." is not showing at all.

I tried to make a menu for my game, but when I placed the code into the form loading event, it wouldn't show. Then I placed a button and moved the code into the button click event and it worked. Thus, I know the code shouldn't be wrong. How can you make the graphics( as in lines, rectangle,etc) show up when it starts up?

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 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 have a form that I will be using to copy directories of photos from memory cards to locations on a computer. I would like to add a progress bar to the application to show the progress of the copying in real time. This is the code that I use to copy the directory in the first place
Dim SourceDir As String = SourceTextBox.Text
Dim DestinationDir As String = DestinationTextbox.Text
If System.IO.Directory.Exists(DestinationDir) Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(SourceDir, DestinationDir,)
Else
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Destination Dir)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(SourceDir, DestinationDir)

I have created a program using FaxServer and FaxDocument. I want to know if there is a way to determine programically if the modem is busy? Busy in terms of it could be sending/receiving a fax or another program is using it. I just need to know if its in use.

I have a client program I wrote that waits for TCP communications. I found that when it was waiting, the form became unusable. I did some reading and learned about threading. Now it works great. Now I came to the point where I need to stop the program.. this is basically what I have:
[code]...
I figured I'd use the quit option to set the bool to false that the thread will see then do the proper closeout. However, it doesn't seem to work. After banging my head against the code, hehe, I realized that the thread is hung waiting for a client on the "AcceptTcpClient()" line.. so it's never getting a chance to evaluate SystemRunning.Is that an accurate assumption of the problem? If so, how does one deal with it?Also, I surmised that I probably should put my "end" statement at the end of the thread to be closed rather than my quit sub. I was afraid the marker boolean for the thread would get set and then the quit sub would immediately trigger "end" before the thread had a chance to close out. Is that also correct, or doesn't it matter?

How can I access data that WebBroswer1.navigate function is downloading from a website, while it is downloading it? If I access it once it has finished downloading it through the WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted function, it only slows down my program, since it has to wait for the website to finish downloading to the control before I can access it.

I wrote a fax program that is using Microsoft FaxServer and FaxDocument on a windows 7 machine. I want to be able to check if the modem that the FaxServer is using is busy. I maybe busy for whatever reason (in use by another program, receiving or sending faxes, whatever). What currently happens, is if the modem is busy, the fax is sent to the Windows Queue and waits for the modem to get done. I don't want that to happen. So before sending I want to check if the modem is in use. I have a couple of things I have already done. But I am having issue tying them together.
I can get a list of ports for the computer and I can get the faxserver devices. But I would like to be able to do something like... take the faxserver device it is using(Com1, Com2, Com3...Whatever) and I want to check if it is free.

I have a form with several buttons on it and when the user presses one of the buttons it begins a lengthy process (takes up to several seconds). What I want to happen is that any subsequent button presses that occur on any other button on the form are ignored until the process is complete from the initial button press. What actually happens is that subsequent button presses go into a queue and are executed in sequence as the processes for each complete. What I mean is, if each button executes a function that takes 2 seconds and I hit 5 buttons very quickly (in less than 2 seconds say) it leads to a sequence of events that takes 10 seconds.... what I want to happen is for it to lead to only the FIRST button press occurring and taking the 2 seconds that it's activated function takes.
I am writing software that interfaces with hardware through a USB to UART converter and am using virtual COM ports and timing is critical. I want something to occur ONLY when I press a button, not seconds later after being queued up and waiting for a previous operation to finish.
