help me please

i have a progress bar and a button named Scan ian i want it to scan so the progress bar works :confused:

and none of the book i read sayed anything about it

what i do is a progress bar.. i divide the number of events or w/e im doing into a hundred... and each time each event is done just do soemthing live

Progressbar.value += 4

is this what you meant?

A ProgressBar is supposed to indicate the progress of something. What is it that you're attempting to indicate the progress of? If you have a task that is broken into a set number of subtasks and each of these is given equal weighting in the progress then you would set the Maximum to the number of tasks, the Step to 1 and then call PerformStep each time you want to advance the progress. If you have multiple subtasks that have unequal weighting then you'd do something like what c0rrupt suggested. If you don't know exactly how much or how long processing will occur then you can't really do either of these things. If you're using VB 2005 then you set the Style of the ProgressBar to Marquee and it will just animate indefinitely until you stop it.

Hi Sean,

Here's an example for a progressBar.

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        ProgressBar1.Value = 1
        ProgressBar1.Visible = True
        Timer1.Enabled = True
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
 
        ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + 1
        If ProgressBar1.Value >= 10 Then
            Timer1.Enabled = False
            ProgressBar1.Visible = False
        End If
        
 
    End Sub

I hope it's a start,

Yes there's a possibility:

VB Code:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
 
        ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + 1
        If ProgressBar1.Value >= 10 Then
            Timer1.Enabled = False
            ProgressBar1.Visible = False
            MsgBox("The progressBar has stopt")
        End If
       
    End Sub

Wkr,
