Dealing with ProgressBar

Hi All,

I have a .NET CF application using C# language. On a form, I have
created a panel, on which I have placed a label and a progress bar
control. However, when I change the value of the progress bar, the
progree bar moves ahead. In the same method, when I change the text
property of the label, the changed text is not displayed on the UI.
The changed text is displayed only after the application control exits
the method.

Please let me know if I am missing anything.

Regards,
Kshama

Sounds like the usual "you are not doing your long processing in a
separate thread" problem.

Use Google Groups to search this newsgroup for a number of previous
discussions on the issue, including at least one recent one I recall
that specifically mentions the progress bar (which apparently forces a
redraw when updated, making it work when other things don't).

The basic idea: you need to use BackgroundWorke r to move your processing
to a different thread so that the main UI thread can respond to changes
in the various controls' values (like the text in a Label control).

Can you please provide me with a simple example for the same?

Thanks,

Thanks a lot Peter. After adding the processing in a separate thread,
things worked. :)

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.

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...

Overview: 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,...
