[RESOLVED] Backgroundworker and Progressbar

[schoemr]

Hi,

I have on my form backgroundworker that is running code to make a copy of records. When this operation is start, then I display a Panel and inside panel is Progressbar:

The reason for using a panel is because I want to display that label "Please wait..." (as in picture above)

But what is happen is this:

Attachment 159939

This is because when that backroundworker is running then it seems that "disables" that label...

This is what I currently do:

To start copy operation:

Private Sub MakeCopy_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MakeCopy.Click
        Select Case MsgBox("Copy """ & (TblTaskContextDataGridView.SelectedRows(0).Cells(2).Value) & """?", MsgBoxStyle.Question + MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Create a Copy?")

            Case MsgBoxResult.Yes
                Me.MyProgressBar.Visible = True
                Me.TblTaskContextDataGridView.DataSource = Nothing
                BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()
                Me.Enabled = False
        End Select

This is where backgroundworker is doing work:

Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork

‘Code running and making copy......................
 
End sub

Here I have nothing:

Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.ProgressChanged
    End Sub

Backgroundworker finish:

Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted

        If e.Error IsNot Nothing Then
                       MessageBox.Show(e.Error.Message)


        ElseIf e.Cancelled Then
            MessageBox.Show("Task cancelled!")

        Else
            MyProgressBar.Visible = False
            
            MsgBox("Copied completed", vbInformation, "Done")
                        Me.Enabled = True
        End If

Am I placing that progressbar visible and not visible at right place? Or how else can I do this please?

Thanks

This:

Me.Enabled = False

is disabling the form. The Label is on the form so of course the Label is disabled.
