I have a splash screen set up with a 5 second timer, no problems there. When I try to add a Progress Bar it does not function. This is for a school project but usually I don't have problems. This is my first time using a progress bar but maybe this requires some special touch I am currently unaware of.

What VB are you using? VB.NET, VB6, or VBA?
You will need to set your timer interval to an increment of the 5 seconds, say every half second and update the progress bar ten times and then exit the splash screen. HTH --Sam
You need to increase the value of progressbar on timer event. Once it reaches its maxvalue, close the splash screen and go to the desired location in application.
The basic problem most people run into is not realising that the progress bar doesn't actually do anything for itself. It's just a fancy way of displaying the information you pass to it.
You start out by setting the upper and lower limits. Then periodically you pass it a value (within these limits) to say how far you have progressed. It merely displays that value in a graphical format.
So, it's up to you to track your progress, and periodically pass a value to the ProgressBar control. Clear?
- While (Me.uiProgressBar.Value < Me.uiProgressBar.Maximum)
-
Me.uiProgressBar.Value = Me.uiProgressBar.Value + 1
-
End While
-
Me.Close()
This is what I have inside the Timer function. I must be missing something here. I'm assuming the Timer function doesn't perform the commands inside it until the timer has completed its intended duration. How can I force it to check or something similar? Or maybe I'm using it entirely wrong, I'll keep looking, though.
I'm using VB.NET by the way.
EDIT: I got it working now :)
Glad to see you got it worked out. :)
I hope you realised what was wrong with the While loop.

Hi guys
I have a time critical process, running on a worker thread. By "time
critical", I mean that certain parts of the process must be completed in a
specific time frame. The time when the process starts is not especially
important, but it must be complete within a small number of seconds.
The operations I am performing do not take a long time (hundreds of
milliseconds), but as each part of the process is complete, my worker thread...

I'd just like a sanity check on my thinking. I'm attempting to create
a progress bar for a file upload to an ASPX page. I'm adding an HTTP
Module, which would then call into a "Progress Handler", a remoting
object created as a singleton object, which would keep track of all
file uploads by an id. Does this make sense?
I haven't seen this implementation of a progress bar mentioned
anywhere. Am I missing something? Thanks for the...

Hello,
I have a problem with my progress bar, as shown in the attached

The timer works fine and ticks all the way through. However when you Add a

the progress bar are not displayed, even though the timer appears to...

For an application I'm creating I want to create a 'fake' progress
bar.
By fake I mean a progress bar that looks like it's doing something but
actually isn't.
I know philosophically this isn't sound. But my little app is a 'fake'
app and is designed to look like another - hence this seeming crazy
situation of needing to fake a progess bar.
PROBLEM.

I have an app that shows the time it takes to execute a search, much like SQL Management Studio, but the app behaves as though the System.Windows.Forms.Timer gets blocked while binding the results to the grid. As you might expect, I execute the search in the background but I have to return to the UI thread to bind the results. While databinding, it appears as though the Timer.Tick event never gets fired, so my timer freezes at the time before...

I want to complete a project and I want to place a timed progress bar on my splash screen, I want to find out a method of timing my progress bar to update every 10 seconds.
here's what I got so far:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If (ProgressBar0.Value <0) then
ProgressBar0.Value = ProgressBar0.Value +10
End If
ProgressBar0.Value =100
End Sub
