[RESOLVED] ToolstripProgressBar1 loads to full when..[HELP]

[x DeaDLy]

I have a button and when i click it, it shows a msgbox. I want it so that when i click the button, the progress bar loads to full for about 5 seconds or so, and then the msgbox is shown. This is my code for the button to show msgbox. I also want the statuslabel that goes with the progress bar to say "Checking.." when it is in the process and then say "Done" when the message box appear.

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        MsgBox("You clicked me!")
    End Sub

Thanks!

So what's the problem?

You want a timer control that ticks maybe every half second and increments the progress bar's progress property to the appropriate percentage (if min is 0 and max is 100 then that would be adding 10 to the value every tick if it's interval is set to 500 milliseconds). Also set the statuslabel every time the timer ticks.

The when the progress bar's value is 100 then disable the timer and show your message box.

Can you give me a example of the code? Thanks

An example... sure :

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

        ProgressBar1.Value += 10
        ProgressBar1.Refresh()
        Label1.Text = ProgressBar1.Value & "%"
        If ProgressBar1.Value = 100 Then
            Timer1.Stop()
            MessageBox.Show("Reached the end", "My Message Box", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
        End If

    End Sub

        End If

    End Sub

How can i use this timer for a button, like if i click a button this goes into effect?
