i have been trying to add a progressbar to my project but don't know how and the last post i have posted one person answered it but never came back to help me with how?
so i am asking again because this is something alot of people probably would want to know how to do it
so i am placing a code down and hopefullly some one could post the steps on how this could and can be done. not just with my project but others too. so please have a heart and show us who don't know how, but want to learn to do it
here is the code i am wanting to have a progressbar in it to show things happening - Private Sub cmdCopy_Click()
-
Dim fso As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
-
Dim fld As Folder
-
cmdCopy.Caption = "Copying Folder!"
-
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(txtSourceOfFolder)
-
fld.Copy (txtDestinationOfFile)
-
Label1.Caption = "Copying Folder Is Completed!"
-
Beep
-
txtSourceOfFolder.Text = ""
-
txtDestinationOfFile.Text = ""
-
cmdExit.Enabled = True
-
End Sub
as you can see from this code i have the button caption change when i click on it to say "Copying Folder!" and a label to say when it's done. this is great and all but a progressbar would look so much nicer and professional.

The Visual Basic developer environment should offer a progress bar control for you to use. You can get it from the toolbox panel; the same place you got the command button from.
what? that's not what I'm Talking about. i know where the progressbar is located read the question again...
i want to know how to put it in my code to show something is going on, not that i don't know where it is.

Since your first post wasn't properly typed, I misunderstood.
It may not have been what you meant, but it's pretty much what you typed.
I haven't attempted this before, so I don't know if it will work. If it doesn't, you can use the overall structure to work out your own method.
Create the folder first, so that you have an FSO for it. Enumerate the initial folder's file collection for the total number of files, using the Files property of the FSO. Apply that value to the progress bar's Maximum property. Then, do the copy operation. In a loop, enumerate the files in the same way with the new folder, to work out the current number of files that exist within the new folder, and increment the progress bar's Value property until the maximum value has been reached. Finally, display the "completed" message.
yea i guess your right after reading it again it kinda says that, well i guess I'm Sorry About that.tristanlbaily well i have a question lets say someone bring over some music you want to copy from a external hard drive the files may vary and then i wouldn't know what to set the max value to. thats why i made this program to copy my friends folder of music or songs

o yea i forgot to tell you i don't know ho to do loops, well it's not that i haven't seen one i just never used them before. when i look at one i get confused on how to express it. sounds good when you say it in your head but when you typ it out it never works. that's why i placed the code in the first post so someone could help me place it in the code to understand how it's done. and i just noticed i misspelled your name sorry about that too.

ok i have this, but this isn't working right some of the file are small but this is taking too long to finish. - Private Sub cmdCopy_Click()
-
PBTask.Max = 100
-
PBTask.Min = 0
-
Dim i
-
Dim fso As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
-
Dim fld As Folder
-
For i = 1 To 100
-
cmdCopy.Caption = "Copying Files!"
-
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(txtSourceOfFolder)
-
fld.Copy (txtDestinationOfFile)
-
PBTask.Value = (100 * (i / 100))
-
Next i
-
cmdExit.Enabled = True
-
txtSourceOfFolder.Text = ""
-
txtDestinationOfFile.Text = ""
-
End Sub
I did a search on progressbar and i found this code. added my stuff in it and this is what i have so why is it taking too long? I don't Understand how this is done.....I need help!!!!!!!
lee123
Dont' use the code you've found; it's BAD.
The copy method is repeated 99 times, so it will of course be slow.
I presume you are using Visual Basic .NET, 2005, or 2008?
I am currently constructing code for the aforementioned; if you are using something older (i.e. Visual Basic 6 or VBA), please reply promptly.
I've just found something that you may be interested in:

I tried making a simpler version, but it was taking too long. The sample above should be your "cup of tea".

Hi, thanks for the previous advice on progressbars with showing the
percentage. I would now like to create a less clunky version.
I.e at the moment my progressbar shows 7 separate steps. Some steps can take
seconds to process, but others could take upto 10 minutes (leaving the users
thinking nothing is happening!).
Is there a way to show the progressbar smoothly increasing until the final
step has finished instead of clunking it's way...

Please consider:
foreach (ListViewItem item in listViewFiles.Items)
{
// Display the ProgressBar control.
pBar1.Visible = true;
// Set Minimum to 1 to represent the first file being copied.
pBar1.Minimum = 1;
// Set Maximum to the total number of files to copy.
pBar1.Maximum = 4; //filenames.Length;

Rather than putting a progress bar on all of my forms to show progress during time consuming tasks, I made a form called frmProgress with 2 controls, a Label and a ProgressBar.

In other programming languages I've been able to easily change the style
of a progress bar between smooth and blocked. I find that is either
really hidden or impossible in .NET. Am I missing something?
I'm shocked that .NET doesn't have a style property for the progressbar
control!

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.
