Process bars...

[devil200]

How can i make a process bar go from like 10 to 90, 7 or 8 times?

I honestly dont think this is what you want, but I gave it a try anyways

Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
        Static counter As Integer = 0
 
        If counter = 0 Then
            pBar.Value = 10
        End If
        If pBar.Value < 90 Then
            pBar.Value += 10
        Else
            pBar.Value = 10
            counter += 1
        End If
 
        If counter = 7 Then
            Timer.Enabled = False
            counter = 0
        End If
    End Sub

again, if that's not your answer, you have to exPLAIN your question more!

No... That wasn't what i was looking for/didn't work.

Okay. You have an empty process bar right?
Now i want it so when the app loads the proccess
bar will go from the value of 0 to the value 100
3 times.


|= 1 block in the process bar.

well the code that I gave you will move it from 10 to 90 for 7 times. You have to add a timer control and name it "Timer" and set the enabled property to true. Modify that and make it work for what you want.
I dont know if there is a good way to get rid of the stupid timer control though

Thanks i got it to work.

[MrPolite]

just wondering if the code I posted helped at all
if not, could you post your code?

[devil200]

Wait a sec... its recognizing the code, but when i executed the program it didn't do anything. it just stayed on 10 (which is 2 bars)


Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Static counter As Integer = 0

If counter = 0 Then
ProgressBar1.Value = 10
End If
If ProgressBar1.Value < 90 Then
ProgressBar1.Value += 10
Else
ProgressBar1.Value = 10
counter += 1
End If

If counter = 7 Then
Timer1.Enabled = True
counter = 0
End If
End Sub


Thats what i have in. Tell me if its wrong

[MrPolite]

first, put your code in the [vbcode] and [/vbcode] tags when you post codes

umm why did you change
Timer.Enabled = False
to
Timer.Enabled = True
?




What I ment was that the timer has to be started so that the code inside it would run. That's probably your problem. Add a command button to the form or put this in Form_Load
Timer.Enabled = True


OR you can just set the Enabled property to true when you are designing the form ( in the properties window)

[devil200]

So put Form_Load
Timer.Enabled = True

into a button?....

its not recognizing the Form_Load

sorry I'm confusing you

Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
        Static counter As Integer = 0
 
        If pBar.Value < 90 Then
            pBar.Value += 10
        Else
            pBar.Value = 10
            counter += 1
        End If
 
        If counter = 7 Then
            Timer.Enabled = False
            counter = 0
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Timer.Enabled = True
    End Sub

try that
