Progress Bar and Timer

[JoshK]

I've never used a progress bar before so
I need some help coding the below:

- I want a progress bar on the bottom of my program to increase as time continues.
So with a timer maybe I could do this; at 5 seconds the progress bar be about 1/4 complete, at 10 seconds, half complete, 15 seconds, 3/4 complete, 20 seconds fully complete, then have it reset but not start over. I don't want the progress to be choppy though, just a smooth line to the end.
Help? Thanks

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Timer1.Interval = 50
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    If Me.ProgressBar1.Value = Me.ProgressBar1.Max Then
        Me.ProgressBar1.Value = 0
        Timer1.Enabled = False
    Else
        Me.ProgressBar1.Value = Me.ProgressBar1.Value + 1
    End If
End Sub

adjust the timer as needed

what's the "option explicit" thing you used mean? i'm fairly new to vb so i don't know all the commands yet, but i've programmed in other languages before

Option Explicit will help you to find undeclared variable and will cause less error.

try to run a program without declaring your variable with Option Explicit you will got an error.

For more detail you should read MSDN help

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Option Explicit requires you to Dim, Public, Private, Global, etc. every varible or it'll be errored.

Can be annoying at times... but some people like it.

[DaoK]

Yes that what I said you need to declare your variable with Option Explicit

ALWAYS use Option Explicit !

Always use Option Explicit but never use the Progress bar control unless u are using lots of other controls from the same OCX.. u can quite easily build ur own control with minimal overhead.

PS Peet Repeet.. i see that u have Auto Syntax Check on. That thing bugs the hell out of me... i much prefer just ot have colour coding instead of constant reminders.. stoopit thing

[peet]

ok Stuart, u'r abs. right... don't know why I never done that.... probl. because I never fail when writing code thus never got hassled byt that annoying msgbox errr...

Mr Pinnochio, I can scratch ur nose from my balcony!!!

Hey Peet, just on the same thing with vb settings. I remember reading about a registry setting that would ensure that any open code modules / forms etc would open up in their maximized state when u first started VB.. do you know about this? Do u use it? have it etc?

[Motoxpro]

ya that would be nice to have something like that

I hate the Ding song when I do move a part of a code an it broke a condition but I have never checker in the Option to take off the check. Thx for the tip
