Hello. I have a process that can take a long time and I'm trying to put an
animated gif while the user is waiting.
I added a panel with a picturebox with the image inside. The panel is not
visible when the application starts, but before the process, I make it
visible.
The problem is that while the long process is running, the image doesn't
appear. The panel is empty.
How can I ensure that the animated gif is shown?

Are you running the "long process" on the main UI thread or on a
seperate thread?

Actually I'm running that process in the main thread. I can run it in a
separate thread with the Backgroundworke r, but then I need to stop the
execution until it's finished. How can I do that?

I found that code:
Private _dataLock As New ManualResetEven t(False)
Me.BackgroundWo rker1.RunWorker Async()
_dataLock.WaitO ne()
and in the DoWork method...
_dataLock.Set()
The problem is that the application stops completely and the gif animation
is not shown, so I'm in the same point again.

I wouldn't use the BackGroundWorke r, but thats just me. I would create
a class that wraps the method and contains a "WorkFinish ed" event that
fires when the task is done. Then you just have to instantiate the
class, subscribe to it's WorkFinished event, and call it's Begin()
method - the class will take care of spawning the new thread and will
notify you when it's done.
Something like this:
' Typed in message
Public Class MyThreadWrapper
public sub new()
end sub
public sub Begin()
Dim t as new thread(addresso f DoTheWork)
' Set any necessary properties for the thread
t.Start()
end sub
private sub DoTheWork()
' Do the long process
RaiseEvent(Work Finished(me, EventArgs.Empty ))
end sub
public event WorkFinished as EventHandler
End Class

I'm displaying an image that is also a link against a black background.
In Netscape 7.1, the current background color is displayed as a
horizontal bar below the image. This allows :hover effects that change
the background color to have a visible effect, as this bar changes
color. By default, it appears that the color is inherited from the body
color, i.e. with no link style applied, the bar is black, and invisible
against the background....

I'm opening a page that has a single image on it. I'd like to resize the
window containing the image to the size of the image (slightly larger OK,
not smaller). The width isn't a problem, but the height is. The window, of
course has things like menu bars, toolbar, navigation, etc. I need to
account for these when I resize the image, but I'm not seeing how to do
that. I'm sure this must be done frequently, but I'm not seeing the
solution.

I want to center an image on the screen and have text centered over the
image. What's the best way to do this?
I've been playing with style tags and I can get the stuff to center
automatically OR have the text appear on top of the image. But in the
second case, the image and text aren't centered properly.
Any help is appreciated...

The first method I ever used for multiple state buttons was to create a

I'm creating interfaces now with many more buttons than "just a few".
I solved the maintenance problem by having generic button images, one

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,...
