I never used a progressbar ive tried in old vb6 but never got it, iam loading a text file in a listbox, can some one plz show how it is done heres my code to open and load text in a list box

Many ,Many Thanks


openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text files (*.TXT)|*.TXT"
openFileDialog1.Title = "Select a Cursor File"


If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

Dim lines() As String = File.ReadAllLines(openFileDialog1.FileName)

For Each line As String In lines


RepareList.Items.Add(line)

Thank you

The easiest way to do this is to set the MaxValue property to the number of lines (which you can probably get from the lines() array).

Before you start the For Loop, set the Value property to 0 (0%).
Then, increment the Value property with 1 inside the For Loop.

What happens now is that the Value property will be incremented with 1 step, from 0 to 'number of lines'. Because 'number of lines' is also your MaxValue, that will correspond to 100% progress and the progressbar will be 100% filled.

I told you everything you need to know?

Oh well...

Dim numberOfLines As Integer = ... 'get number of lines here

ProgressBar1.Value = 0
ProgressBar1.MaxValue = numberOfLines

For Each something something
    ProgressBar1.Value += 1
Next

It would help if you tell us what errors you are getting, and if you post the new code.

[Demover]

openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text files (*.TXT)|*.TXT"
openFileDialog1.Title = "Select a Cursor File"






If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then





Dim lines() As String = File.ReadAllLines(openFileDialog1.FileName)
Dim lines2 As Integer = RepareList.Text


RepareList.Value = 0
RepareList.MaxValue = lines2



For Each RepareList.Items(lines2)
ProgressBar1.Value += 1
Next


For Each line As String In lines




RepareList.Items.Add(line)

Next

End If

thank you

You didn't even do as I did in the example!

What is the purpose of "lines2"?
It's an Integer (number) and you are trying to set a Text (String) property to it.

I told you to set the Value and MaxValue of the ProgressBar, not the RepareList (which I presume is your listbox).

Finally you have added a second For Each loop that loops through an Item, something that does not make sense at all. You want to loop through the lines as usual, and increment the progressbar value inside that loop.


Try adding the following to your first code:

Dim n As Integer = lines.Count()

Try to work out yourself where this should go, it's not that hard. If you get an error, it is most probably easy enough to understand what you need to change from what it says!

And modify the For Each loop like this:

ProgressBar1.Value = 0
ProgressBar1.MaxValue = n

For Each line As String In lines
   RepareList.Items.Add(line)
   ProgressBar1.Value += 1
Next

ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.MaxValue
