Progress bar

Howard

I wrote a program that downloads rar files off my ftp server using TCP
client. I would like to display a progress bar that advances while
downloading the files. I tried that, but the program freezes while it's
downloading and the progress bar is not responding as well. I've read
articles on MSDN and google, but wasn't successful at doing it. Am I
missing something? could someone guide me through this?

I appreciate your help,
Howard

Hi Howard, it sounds like your program is running on a single thread. If
you're new to developing software you might not have come across threading
before. There are plenty of places that explain threading better than I can
here, try this for starters...

Any problems or difficulties, post back.

To get around this, you can do the FTP transfer in a separate thread and
notify the UI thread from time to time of the progress.
