progress bar [* Resovled *]

[steve_rm]

Hello,

I have a progress bar and i have the min set to 1 and the max set to 100. I want to be able to click on part of the progress bar and for the progress bar to go to the value that l click on in the progress bar.

For example if the progress is on 10, and l click on the bar in the area of about 80, then the progress will go up to that value of 80.

Many thanks in advance,

Steve

rate it if it works

private int clickedX;
		private void progressBar1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
		{
			clickedX = e.X;
		}

		private void progressBar1_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
		{
			double val = (double)clickedX/progressBar1.Width;
			int range = progressBar1.Maximum - progressBar1.Minimum;

			progressBar1.Value = (int)(val * range);
		}

You should probably be using a TrackBar instead I think. Obviously it's up to you, but the ProgressBar doesn't accept user interaction easily because it's not supposed to be for that purpose.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I found another way to do the same thing. Here is the code on vbcity.com.

Thanks

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
        { 
            this.progressBar1.MouseDown+=new MouseEventHandler(progressBar1_MouseDown); 
            this.progressBar1.MouseMove+=new MouseEventHandler(progressBar1_MouseMove); 
        } 
 
        private void progressBar1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) 
        { 
            this.AdjustProgress(e); 
        } 
 
        private void progressBar1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) 
        { 
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) 
            { 
                this.AdjustProgress(e); 
            } 
        } 
 
        private void AdjustProgress(MouseEventArgs e) 
        { 
            int x = e.X; 
            double d = ( ((double)x * (double)100.00) / (double)this.progressBar1.Width ); 
            int value = Convert.ToInt32(System.Math.Ceiling((this.progressBar1.Maximum-this.progressBar1.Minimum)* d/100))+this.progressBar1.Minimum; 
            this.progressBar1.Value = System.Math.Max(this.progressBar1.Minimum, System.Math.Min(this.progressBar1.Maximum, value)); 
        }

I take it we don't like the TrackBar then, that was purpose-built to provide this functionality.
