Progress bar help

[Giraffe Frenzy]

I currently have a progress bar that increments depending on what is set in my program by a drop down box (txtDelayTimKickOver.Text), values range from 1-20. Depending on what value is selected from txtDelayTimKickOver.Text, the program bar is supposed to increment on that number. This will cause a delay in my program in second dependent on that selected value.

My problem is that the progress bar looks like it reaches 100% when it is actually halfway done.

How do I always make the progress reach 100% when it is supposed to based on txtDelayTimKickOver.Text?

        For i As Integer = 1 To txtDelayTimKickOver.Text
            ProgressIndicator.Value += txtDelayTimKickOver.Text
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        Next

How many times does this loop run? I only ask because I do not see where you set the initial value of ProgressIndicator.Value. Also, your are using implicit type conversions that should be avoided, i.e. instead of just using txtDelayTimKickOver.Text, use Integer.Parse(txtDelayTimKickOver.Text).

As far as your percentage goes, your calculations are flawed. If txtDelayTimKickOver can be any value from 1 - 20, then lets assume it equals 20. Your Progress loop would execute like this:
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
4 + 3 = 7
7 + 4 = 11
11 + 5 = 16
16 + 6 = 22
22 + 7 = 31
etc....


Can you elaborate a little more on what your program is actually doing?

ProgressIndicator.MaxValue = Ctype(txtDelayTimKickOver.Text, Integer)
For i As Integer = 1 To txtDelayTimKickOver.Text
            ProgressIndicator.Value += txtDelayTimKickOver.Text
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        Next

I am going to use the For loop of the progress bar as a delay. The user can set the delay anywhere from 1 -20 seconds. I would like the progress bar to show how much time has past in the desired delay.

[circuits2]

ProgressIndicator.MaxValue = Ctype(txtDelayTimKickOver.Text, Integer)
For i As Integer = 1 To txtDelayTimKickOver.Text
            ProgressIndicator.Value += txtDelayTimKickOver.Text
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        Next

Your code has the same mathematical error. Use this instead:

ProgressIndicator.MaxValue = Ctype(txtDelayTimKickOver.Text, Integer)
For i As Integer = 1 To Integer.Parse(txtDelayTimKickOver.Text)
            ProgressIndicator.Value = i
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        Next
