ProgressBar while MDI child form is loading

Hello,

I don't know if such question was already posted but I didn't find anything
through different posts.

I have the Main MDI window with a StatusBar. Inside my StatusBar there is a
ProgressBar. When I click on the menu in my MDI Parent, a child form is
loaded. I would like to know if there is a way to increment a progressbar
value while child form is loading ? I tried to use background worker but i
had some cross thread access exceptions. any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

You could expose a public method on your main window that allows you to write
the percentage to it from the child.

Check this out.. this should help you do what you want to do.

I use the marquee mode in the progress bar. and then hide/unhide it
as and when needed..

Hi all , As we run the .NET exe, first of all it loads all the necessary system dlls and user dlls at load time and then displays the main form of the application. But in between loading these dlls and displaying the main form , it takes some good amount of time. So I want to display progress bar in between. is it possible?

In my MDI parent form I choose to open a Child thru a MenuClick... I want a progressabar to show up and progress allthru the loading of the new Child Form.. and then when it's done I want the progressbar to disapear and the child so show up. Sometimes there's a lot to load in these child windows and I feel I want to show the user that something is "going on" and not just have them wait and think the application hung, /Lars

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...

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
