Help with windows progress bar
-
Hello ! I have very irritating problem with progressbar control. It only manifests in Vista and Windows 7 ... The thing is, when I increase value, in Vista and Windows 7 there is nice animation that fill's up progress bar. But that is also problem for me, because when I do something, and that is done, I display message (bla bla - DONE), but progress bar isn't full. Here is screenshot: Picture I do progressbar.Update always after I change value, but it has no effect

Do you set
myProgressBar.Value = myProgressBar.Maximumwhen your activities are completed?Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.”

yes, and it fill's to the end, but other lines of code are executed before it is filled ... Here is little sample: myProgressBar.Value = myProgressBar.Maximum myProgressBar.update() msgbox "Done!" and in that sample message box is showed before progress bar is filled to the end

It's a well known problem with Aero. I don't think you can do anything about it, unless you force users to select a theme with no slo-mo animation for progress bars. :(
2+2=5 for very large amounts of 2 (always loved that one hehe!)

The
Update()method for anyControl(ProgressBarincluded) simply causes that Control to re-paint itself, as it is. It does not cause it to update its data. So callingUpdate()is a waste of time in this case. applying the new value will cause a re-paint, eventually. Short of calling Application.DoEvents (which I hate) I have no solution, sorry! :)Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

Yeah, I was afraid of that ... So there's no way to fix it (except to wait few seconds to be sure that it is filled up) ?
Yep, no way that I know of.

I reached the same conclusion with a progress bar / background worker component I made. When testing for a CP article, under Vista I had the same problem - and no solution. :^)
