To all:

could anyone please give me the basic syntax how to use the progress bar

control in V.B. I am transferring a lot of files from my local server to a

FTP site and I would like to show the user where he is up to and the amount

of files he transferred so far



Thank you in advanced

Joel, 

I have some info that might help you. 

There are two properties that you need to use - .Max and .Value.

Set your .Max to how many files need to be downloaded   and then as you

download them  - change .Value





 ProgressBar.Max=AllFilesCount

 ProgressBar.Value =0

 For lX = 1 To AllFilesCount

	BlablaBla

      ProgressBar.Value = lX

 Next lX





Works for me.



	Eva

Thank you for your help and time.

my problem is I am transferring files to a FTP site and there is no way I

could know how many files we are going to transfer so there is no way to set

the .max value. if you have any information please tell about this 



Thank you again I really appreciate your help

A max value is needed, because there is no other way

of calculating progress.

After all, how can you tell how far you've gone,

(percentagewise) if you don't know how far you are supposed

to go?



What you can do, is to make an estimate: how many files

are usually sent, and how many are the maximum # of files

you think will be sent. Then set your max-value a little

above that.



Also, if your application lets the user pick a list of files

and then transfer them, you will at some point have that list

of selected files available.

Can't you run a count on those?



Cheers,

Anders :)

Thank you all I really appreciate all your help 



To Reed Mohn: 



its a very good idea what you are saying. and I thing a lot of programs out

there are doing the same thing as you could see when a progress bar is

running when it comes to %75 it just jump to the end. it is still cool it

keeps the user busy 



Thank you again
