Since some controls such as the DataGridView take a long time to update
themselves when performing certain tasks, I have added a StatusStrip with a
ProgressBar on it. While I am updating the controls on the form, I want the
ProgressBar to scroll in marquee mode. However, I cannot seem to get this to
work.
I set the StatusStripLabe l to the text I want such as "Updating data..." and
then set the ProgressBar's Style property to Marquee mode BEFORE I do any
updates on the controls in the same form. However, the StatusStripLabe l does
not display the text and the ProgressBar does not scroll in marquee mode
while I am performing the updates. This does not seem logical to me and I
have no idea why this occurs. Can anybody please help me?

You're blocking on the UI thread? If so then that's preventing the UI
updates. Look into using a BackgroundWorke r (I'm assuming you're
using .net 2.0 if you're using a DataGridView).
I tried using the BackgroundWorke r, but I can't reference the DataGridView in
the DoWork method because the DataGridView is on the UI thread. I think the
StatusBar probably needs to be in its own thread so that it's constantly
repainting while I update the DataGridView. But, how do you put a Windows
Control in a different thread when it's on the same form?

When you add a StatusStrip to a WinForm and add a Progressbar to the
StatusStrip, setting the Progressbar alignment to "Right" does not move the
Progressbar to the right on the Statusbar.
Is this a bug?

Hi,
Winforms has the new StatusStrip control that replaces StatusBar in
1.1. I've looked high and low but can't seem to find how to get
separators (|) in my status bar, eg
Info1 | Info2 | Info3 | Info4
where Infos 1 to 4 are StatusLabels.

Hi all,
(VS 2005 Pro, XP) I'm trying to place a statusstrip control on a window
such that it acts like a statusstrip (!).
Every time I try this, no matter what I do, I find that when I maximise
other containers on the form to fill its' available surface, then these
other controls slip behind the statusstrip to fill ALL the form's
surface as if the statusstrip didn't even exist!. Statustrip dock
property is bottom, other controls all...

Using VS2005 (.NET 2.0), VB.NET,
I have a windows forms application. I have a StatusStrip containing a
ToolStripStatusLabal and a ToolStripProgressBar.
I want to force the status label to behave like it's docked to "Fill"
inside the StatusStrip and force the progress bar to behave like it's
docked to "Right" inside the StatusStrip. Unfortunately I do not see
any way to accomplish this using just one StatusStrip control.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
