TaskBar text [SOLVED]

[HWijngaarD]

Does anyone know how I can show my me.Text on the taskbar?
I have a % counter in combination with the estimated time for a procedure in my Me.Text and I want to show it on the taskbar.

I thought that if I'd put it in the me.Text it would automaticly be seen in the taskbar....not!

It will, but the Taskbar only refreshes when it's sensible to do so, so unless the form tells it to refrsh that instant, it may be a second or so before you see the change.

You can do this by calling the DoEvents method and if that doesn't react fast enough for you, call the forms Refresh method, but bear in mind that it could slow down your process considerably, i.e.

Dim i As Integer
      For i = 1 To 1000000
         Me.Text = String.Format("{0}%", Int((100 / 1000000) * i))
         Application.DoEvents()
      Next

Thanks man,

I will try this!
And indeed refresh is not an option because of the grease in my form.

It works perfectly!
