Passing message/progress back to the calling form

[Bill Nguyen]

Please help me to accomplish this.
I would like to create a sub/function that will display info & progress from
a called routine on the calling Form as follow.
Thanks a million.

Form1:

label1
progresssbar1

call Module1.Dotask()
Module1:

Function Dotask()

For each record

do something

send data back to Form1..label1
show progress on Form1.progressbar1

next

end function

Not a good idea to do things this way as your main form (Form1) won't get a
chance to repaint properly in order to display progress. What you need is
to perform the task on a thread and use delegates to fire progress "events"
to the form.
