progress bar

At the beginning , I was same as you. It took a monmnet to figue out. I can write more detail to you.

1. get a progressBar and set the properties. What I set is : Maximum 100, Minimun 1, Step 1, TabIndex o, value 1.

2. Reset your Maximun value base on your program. In my below example, I am doing a loop by using foreach, so I would like the progressBar show the whole loop process, so I set "progressBar1.Maximun = fileArray.Length" before my foreach loop.

3. At the end of the foreach loop, I add "progressBar1.PerformStep();" to let bar run.

4. Final step is clear the bar after the program finish running. So at the end of the mothod "goButton_Click(...)" , I use progressBar.value = 1.

Hope it can help you out.

private void goButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

goButton.Enabled = false;

..........
..........
progressBar1.Maximum = fileArray.Length; //set the Maximun for progress Bar

//process all the selected files in the folder

foreach(string myFile in fileArray)

{

..............

.............

progressBar1.PerformStep(); //perform progressBar

}

........
.......

progressBar1.Value = 1; //reset progressBar

}
