Adding a Progress Bar

You can easily add a progress bar by using the C1ProgressBar class and members to customize the progress bar. A progress bar can be used to indicate the progress of a lengthy operation. The progress bar consists of an area that is filled from left to right as an operation progresses.

In the Properties Window

Complete the following steps to make the progress bar visible:

1. On the Form in Design view, click once on the C1TaskDialog component to select it.
2. Navigate to the Properties window and locate and expand the ProgressBar item.
3. Click the drop-down area next to the State item and select Indeterminate.
4. Click the drop-down area next to the Visible item and select True.

In Code

The following code makes the progress bar visible:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    C1TaskDialog1.ProgressBar.State = TaskDialogProgressBarState.Indeterminate
    C1TaskDialog1.ProgressBar.Visible = True
End Sub

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    c1TaskDialog1.ProgressBar.State = TaskDialogProgressBarState.Indeterminate;
    c1TaskDialog1.ProgressBar.Visible = true;
}
