Hi
Is there a way to show text in/over a progressbar (like using a label
with transparent background? Which hasn't worked for me, BTW)???

override the OnPaint method, call the base, then do your own painting

Hi john
I did the OnPaint, (se beneath), just a small test,
but the
< call the base, then do your own painting >
you suggest, I don't exactly know what you mean about this.
This code works, but not the way I hoped, the string is drawn behind
my Progress bar control, so is there another way I can do this, or is
Graphics the wrong one to use?
private void OnPaint(object
sender,System.W indows.Forms.Pa intEventArgse)
{
Graphics G = e.Graphics;
G.DrawString( "Hello Mum!", new Font( "Verdana", 20 ),
new SolidBrush( Color.Tomato ),
650,
360 );
}

I'm sorry, I forgot ProgressBar is a sealed class. After quickly
studying the class, I could not find a way to do what you want to do.
You *could* obtain the Graphics object for the progress bar, and draw on
top of that, but you would not know when the control repaints itself,
because ProgressBar does not have a Paint event.
I think your best bet would be to create your own ProgressBar control
using the drawing primitives. I don't think that would be very difficult.

I check data from a text file with a mdb Database using a progressbar and
changing the Caption by % to indicate to the user what is happening.The file
is large and takes quite a while. The problem though is that if the user
clicks on the form everything freezes and I get "Not Responding". It is
still doing the check because if you let it continue it finishes running.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the previous advice on progressbars with showing the
percentage. I would now like to create a less clunky version.
I.e at the moment my progressbar shows 7 separate steps. Some steps can take
seconds to process, but others could take upto 10 minutes (leaving the users
thinking nothing is happening!).
Is there a way to show the progressbar smoothly increasing until the final
step has finished instead of clunking it's way...

In other programming languages I've been able to easily change the style
of a progress bar between smooth and blocked. I find that is either
really hidden or impossible in .NET. Am I missing something?
I'm shocked that .NET doesn't have a style property for the progressbar
control!

Hi
I'm currently developing a Windows application. At the start of the
application I load several tables into datatables in a dataset. I also use
a progressbar to show the user how much percent of the total is already
loaded. But I do this in a dirty way: I increment the progressbar with the
same number after each table, but not all tables contain the same amount of
data. I solved this with starting an other thread to increment the...

Hi people,
I'm stuck on a problem and I was wondering if there was a way around:
I'm trying to find the number of lines in a comma delimited text file.
I have a progress bar that should display the progress of a text file that
is being read into a DataGridView. I would like the progressbar to
progress as the lines of data are being read.
But to set the maximum value for the progress bar I would need to know the

Hi,
I have a Label on a Windows form (Version 1.1.4322) and while I iterate
recursively through a method I want to show the name of the current file

The Label is not visible until the backup begins, at which point I resize
the form to show the Label and a ProgressBar. As each file is copied, the
Label is updated:

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.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
