Help with progressbar and counter label

here's my code:

Code:

---

Private Sub btnBeginScan_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBeginScan.Click
        Dim db As New byrndbDataContext

        For Each pdffile In strPDFFiles
            strImagesScanned += 1
            pbScan.Value += 1
            lbImagesScanned.Text = strImagesScanned
            Dim info As New FileInfo(pdffile)
        Next
        For Each tiffile In strTIFFiles
            strImagesScanned += 1
            pbScan.Value += 1
            lbImagesScanned.Text = strImagesScanned
            Dim info As New FileInfo(tiffile)
        Next

        lbNewImages.Text = strNewImages
    End Sub

---

The progressbar runs perfectly, but the lbImagesScanned.Text isn't updated until all the scans are completed. Please advice.

You are updating the label after the scans have completed so what do you expect? You can either place lbNewImages.Text = strNewImages inside each for loop or create it's own subroutine and call the update when desired. I would personal use the second option.

edit* Teach me to glance quickly.

Have you tired using application.doevents?

I should have taken out the lbNewImages.Text = strNewImages line, it's not the label in which I'm talking about. I'm talking about the lbImagesScanned.Text = strImagesScanned line, it is inside the for each.

That's why I'm confussed.
