ProgressBar control

[rh]

Hi,

I would like use a ProgressBar control in a Winows Form to show the progress
while a loop is running within a method. It works fine when the loop is
short. But when the loop has many items to iterate through, the form doesn't
response while the loop is running Thus, the ProgressBar also doesn't
respond since it one of the controls on the form.

Any help on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try adding Application.DoEvents to the loop

Call 'Application.DoEvents' every nth iteration.
