is there a way to display the progress when copying/deleting/moving a lot of files..maybe a progress bar... or somekind of messagebox(with no buttons...dunno how to call that) where there's a progress of the kind
(" copying myfile.bin ") without freezing the program... i noticed when i am copying a lot of files...the application freezes until copying complete..
i tried to use threads but with no success...i read threads not recommended in vb 6.0
So long as you know the total number of files you're working with.
You could set the progress bar's max property to total number of files and increment it by one before you move on to the next one.
Or keep the min/max values at 0 and 100 and calculate a percentage value and set the progress to that. This is a good way if the total number of files is greater than the .Max property can store.
Otherwise, the first method is the easiest.
Setting .Max property to number of files is not such a good of idea - if you have 2 files, first one is 10 GB big, and the next one is 1 MB big, the progress will show 50% when you'll copy the first one... you can see the rest.
ey but when i copy files from one folder to another.... my whole application feezes..so the progress bar doesn't even move..it moves just when all copying was done...
Use 'DoEvents'...
Why dont you try this one
i find the solution
