I'm sure I'm going to feel stupid when someone answers this, but what am I
doing wrong?
I have a simple form that loads a text file and displays it in a listbox
with a progress bar based on the byte size of the file. Once the display
begins, I can't move the form - it just hangs up while it's filling. Also,
if I bring another window into focus, the scrolling display stops and doesn't
come back even if I bring my form back into focus.
This is a simple form I let the forms designer set up for me. What do I
need to change to fix this?

Hi,
You should run the "filling" in a separate thread.

Hi,
As Peter said, you might benefit from threading.
There is a simpler, but perhaps not as elegant, way of reading x bytes
from the file, and then use Application.DoE vents() to handle any waiting
windows events like moving the listbox, then read some more, etc, in a
loop.

Is it me or has anyone noticed that F1 is really dumb in VS2005. Since VB3 I
have been able to click F1 on an ambiguous method in code and the IDE
automatically determines the type based on the code itself and shows the

But in VS2005, if I highlight the "Host" method below and hit F1 I get a
help topic on the "UriBuilder.Host" property. Huh????? That's dumb.

This may seen trivial, but I am wondering if anyone has a good name for
their .NET development group. "Client Server" is too old fashioned, "Open

development group also develops desktop applications, WinForms, And TabletPC
products (such as we do).

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service?
That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact
with a WinForms app (which is the UI used to adjust the actions taken by,
and the schedule of the service), then a privileged user thread should be
used in the UI - no service required.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
