I have a Windows console application, which takes around 3 minutes to
complete the execution.
I am interested in implementing something animate while users are
waiting for the process to complete.
If you have experience with Linux/Unix, you should be very familiar
with the revolving slash ( / ) or the growing dots ( ...... ), which
you normally see, when a process is taking some time.
I guess I may have to implement 2 threads. One does the real dirty
work behind, the other displays the revolving slashes (maybe it is a
combination of --, / and \) or grows the dots.
Any idea how to implement this fun stuff? Thanks. 5 2332
if your doing gui i would do somthing Graphical
else
back in the old dos days i did the used the \ / -
based on what ur doing....a process bar is a nice thing
if you can calculate the time...or size for units
otherwise when the calculations are not possible
a disabled text box colord as the window is ..can be used also filling it
and scrolling it with dots....
i used 1 progressbar and filled it one way and reversed it the other way and
forward and back....til lthe process was finished
send 1 thread off to do the work
and main or new 2 thread to work the progress bar...
there's some ideas

How fancy do you want?
Here's a simple example:
static void Main()
{
Thread thread = new Thread(ThreadSt art(DoWork));
char[] rgchBusy = new char[] { '-', '\', '|', '/' };
int ichBusy = 0;
thread.Start();
// The thread that does the work will set WorkDoneWaitHan dle,
// an instance of a WaitHandle, when it's done.
while (WorkDoneWaitHa ndle.WaitOne(10 00))
{
Console.WriteLi ne("\r" + rgchBusy[ichBusy]);
ichBusy = (ichBusy + 1) % rgchBusy.Length ;
}
}

Thanks. I tried your trick. It works. I was using the backspace
character \b, which did not help. The \r absolutely helped.
How about the growing dots (......)?
Of course, simply growing the dots is easy, but I am not sure how to
remove all those dots and then start growing from scratch on the same
line again. Could anyone of you shed some light on this? Thanks. an***********@y ahoo.com wrote:

It would be pretty much the same as the "spinning line", except that
rather than writing the \r character each time, you'd only write it when
you'd written as many periods as make up the line you want (presuambly,
no more than there are characters wide on your console :) ).

I keep coming across people, online and in real life, who believe that
to code single tags like <br> and <img> with trailing slashes, <br />
and <img /> is considered "best practice" and when challenged, they
say that "everyone's going to be using XML/XHTML soon" and say that
they're "getting ready" by coding this way.
Coding this way causes validation errors in HTML 4 Transitional and
HTML 4 Strict, so it can't be "best practice".

How to wait for a process to stop completion is my goal. Obviously, the

thats the best I can come up off the top of my head. Natuarally it will not
work. I expect it to use up all resources looping, which will not allow the

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,...
