Visual basic: Adding a progress bar

[mrapoc]

Basically I want to add a time-based progress bar purely for appearance.

I know i need to either make a loop or, use a time based command. My lecturer didnt want to go that far but hes pleased im experimenting and wants me to have a go at home/do some research.

Im basically just trying to see how many simple yet cool things i can implement.

Heres is my code, you can probably guess what it does if you know how to add this damn progress bar!

Public Class Form1

Private Sub ButtonPress_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonPress.Click

'gives a message related to user's name and shows time

LblOutput.Text = "Hello, " & TBInsertText.Text & ", Would you like to see a cool picture?"

LblOutput.Visible = True

TheTime.Text = "The time is: " & TimeOfDay

TheTime.Visible = True

End Sub

Private Sub TBInsertText_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TBInsertText.Click

'blanks text from box when clicked for user input

TBInsertText.Text = ""

End Sub

Private Sub ButtonPress_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ButtonPress.MouseClick

'makes button visible after pressing "press me"

PictureButton.Visible = True

End Sub

Private Sub PictureButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureButton.Click

'Makes picture button blue when pressed and makes progress bar visible

PictureButton.BackColor = Color.Blue

ProgressBar1.Visible = True

End Sub

End Class

Cheers

something along the lines of

// create progress bar

ProgressBar pb = new Progressbar();

container.add(pb);

//fill it over time

for (pb.value = 0; pb.value < pb.max; pb.value++) {

thread.sleep(100);

}

I don't know VB but im sure you can work out the equivalent. If not look for a tutorial somewhere on the web, google is your friend.

I have been trying for ages but it just doesnt seem to work at all

Ill have another mess around but im not sure

How does the form progress? Could you simply make it a picture box that updates?

 

[mrapoc]

Hmm that I could...like edit out the gif in my sig, put it in then set a timer to initialise the next part soon as the bar fills?

Ill need to get my lecturer to help me with the timer/loops command needed
