I would like to know how to use progressbar base on the time it taken to start up the program
I use progressbar and timer but I not involved the time taken to to start up the program
Quote:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
ProgressBar1.Value = ProgressBar1.Value + 5
If ProgressBar1.Value = 100 Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
Unload Me
frmDateChecker.Show
frmMenu.Command9.Enabled = False
frmMenu.Command9.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Matrik,
system mean the time it took to boot the system or your program ?
Time it taken to start up the program. What i mean is the status with progress bar. I use Microsoft access database.
matrik02, I've not used a progress bar, but there are plenty of threads about it here in the forums.
Take a look here.
I would guess you would get the number of records from the database and then divide that number by 100 and then increment your prograss bar by one each time.
E.G.
1000 records
Every 10 records loaded add 1 to you progressbar - assuming you have the total set to 100
To use a progressbar, you need something you can measure - like the number of records (amount processed so far versus the total amount) as aikidokid explained.
For more information (and alternatives for when you don't have something to accurately measure), see the article How can I use a progress bar? from our Classic VB FAQs (in the FAQ forum, which is shown near the top of our home page)
It is possible to used progress bar to measure the number of total records in the database plus the time taken by computer to process the program?
matrik02, yes it is in the way I described in my first post #2Quote:
