[RESOLVED] Monitor progress in a progress bar
Hello
VS 2005 CF 2.0
WM5
I have created an application that scynchronizes the central database by sending changes to a web service.
This normally takes 5 to 10 seconds and the customer wants to have some kind of progress bar to show that something is happening.
This is some code that would explain what needs to be monitored. (Only showing the main parts - otherwise to much code to show)
Code Snippet'Synchronise Data with the central database
Private Sub MenuItem9_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem9.Click
Code:
Try
If (dsIncidents.HasChanges()) Then
dsChanges = dsIncidents.GetChanges()
'Send only the changes and return a fresh update from the central database
Dim updatedIncident As DataSet = ws.SynchroniseIncidentChanges(dsChanges)
'Assign to the global dataset
Dim objGlobals As New Globals()
objGlobals.IncidentData = updatedIncident
Else
'There was not changes made to the PDA incidents, so just download the latest incidents
Me.GetLatestIncidentData()
End If
End Try
End Sub
So when the code above is running it should display a progress bar to show how long it will take. Or it could show just a animation so the customer knows there is something going on in the background.
Many thanks for any advice and code samples,
Steve
Re: Monitor progress in a progress bar
Hi,
set the cursor to a wait cursor. You could try a timer on half a second, and increment a progress bar - when you get to the end, start again, but there is every chance that your app will not get control until the synchronisation stops.
