Hi folks,
I got a question about using VB to make a bar, I know
that progress bar
in VS is built-in and you don't need to really code it.
But the bar I want
to make is kinda like a bar fill with color and with the
percentage (say,
100% is the max) goes up, the color would be different,
for example, if you
have winamp with the base skin, the higher the volume it
goes, the color
would turn into red; the lower it goes, it will turn
yellow.
This is kinda chanllenge to me and hope I can find
some clues on both
link resources and thoughts.
Thanks

Why not implement a control like this on your own? For example in a
usercontrol. You can draw the gradient in the control's 'Paint' event
with the 'LinearGradient Fill' class.

Herfried,
Why the one in the link OHM did suplied is very nice? Why not implement a control like this on your own? For example in a usercontrol. You can draw the gradient in the control's 'Paint' event with the 'LinearGradient Fill' class.

Briefly my problem: I am developing a Windows app that has several User

This thread is set to be the LOWEST priority. So far so good with all that.
HOWEVER, I am trying to provide some feedback to the user (the bane of our
existence!) via a progress...

Hi!
I am creating a composite control the does some of it`s own data access.
I want to display a progress bar between the time the page is loaded and the
control place holder is displayed and final display of the data from the

I was thinking of manually opening a second thread in the Render method, but
nothing is displayed before the render method exits anyway.
Anyone know of a good way to do this?

Hi,
I am having trouble seeing how this bolts together.
The UI starts a process which involves a long running database update.
All Database activity is handled by a class called DT.
DT has a progress event.
So I added a bw to the form. The Dowork Calls a method which instantiates a
DT and calls its Dataprocessing method.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
