This may be a no-brainer for the WPF cognoscenti, but I'd like to know if there's a simple way to put text on the WPF ProgressBar. To me, an empty progress bar looks naked. That's screen real estate that could carry a message about what is in progress, or even just add numbers to the representation. Now, WPF is all about containers and e...
I'm using the ProgressBar control in a WPF application and I'm getting this old, Windows 3.1 Progress*Blocks* thing. In VB6, there was a property to show a smooth ProgressBar. Is there such a thing for WPF? ...
In this particular situation, there are 9 automated steps in a process that take varying lengths of time. We currently have a number showing percentage in the center of a progress bar, but it suffers from the common stop-and-go problem of racing up to 33%, waiting a long time, racing up to 55%, waiting an even longer time, then finishing...
Just wondering if anyone has seen any usable progress bar for C# .net apps. My app takes about 20-60 secs to load and I would love to show users a progress bar while they wait. I saw this one but the sample site doesn't seem to work which doesn't inspire confidence. ...
Windows Mobile pops up a "busy wheel" - a rotating colour disk - when things are happening . I can't find in the documentation how this is done - can someone point me in the right direction? We have a situation where we need to prompt the user to say we're doing stuff for a while, but we don't know how long it will take. So we can't do...
I'm extremely new to Java, and have mostly just been teaching myself as I go, so I've started building an applet. I'd like to make one that can select a file from the local disk and upload it as a multipart/form-data POST request but with a progress bar. Obviously the user has to grant permission to the Java applet to access the hard dri...
I have a little Perl script (On Windows) that checks some files for me as an aid to my day-to-day business. At the moment it prints out something like... 0% 25% 50% 75% Complete But I can remember scripts I've used in the past that didn't print progress on a line-by-line basis, but which updated the output on the display, presumably b...
I am implementing long running processes that require to a process bar - or progress percentage - to be displayed. The overall logic of the long running process is complex (various paged data retrieval), and as a result, I end up hardcoding lots of percentages in various places within the code. What are considered as the best design pat...
One thing that bugs me about IE is that when it goes to load a page with an iframe it will wait until the iframe has finished loading before it will render the page. Firefox by contrast will render all the other page elements while the iframe is loading which is really nice if the iframe takes a long time to load because it gives the us...
I've noticed that the bog-standard ProgressBar in .NET 2.0 (Winforms) does show up as the fancy animated glowing bar in Vista; however, using the ProgressBarRenderer (as one generally has to when trying to draw a progress bar in an owner-drawn list view, grid view, or other such control) just gives the visual style without the pretty ani...
Is it possible to get Mercurial to show progress of long-running push or pull operation? Google tells me basically "no", but does somebody know better? I was expecting something like "hg pull -v"... ...
I am using C# and Windows Forms. I have a normal progress bar working fine in the program, but now I have another operation where the duration cannot be easily calculated. I would like to display a progress bar but don't know the best way to start/stop the scrolling marquee. I was hoping for something as simple as setting the marquee spe...
I'm using a Delphi 2009 VCL TProgressBar as a kind of "empty/full" gauge. On Vista, with Aero theme enabled, this has an animation associated with it, which is annoying and inappropriate for an gauge. Is there any way of disabling this (NOT by adjusting user's theme settings!) to prevent the animation on this control? Update: I under...
Hello all, In a WPF UserControl, I have to make to call to a WebService. I am making this call on a separate thread but I want to inform the user that the call may take some time. The WebMethod returns me a collection of objects and I bind it to a ListBox in my UC. So far, so good... This part works really well. However, I want to dis...
Hi Guys, I am trying to create an upload control for ASP.NET MVC with jQuery progress bar. In ASP.NET the implementation works no problems, but in MVC the problem is that the server doesn't respond to my callbacks until the file is uploaded. The upload control is based on html file upload element, and I cannot for the life of me, under...
For tasks that will take more than a few seconds, a good user interface, in my opinion, should provide a progress bar along with appropriate information on the progress of the operation. (Microsoft kindly provide User Interface Guidelines on this topic, but I want a status panel that is a bit more advanced.) The "task" class I am using ...
I'm downloading a collection of files, and I'd like to display progress in a progress bar. It's simple to display overall progress by setting the maximum value of the progress bar to the total size of all the files, and by setting the current position to the size downloaded so far. What I'd like to do is separate the progress bar into s...
In my code, when a button is clicked the progress bar is set to marquee and then my BackgroundWorker is called but when the BackgroundWorker is called the progress bar freezes or disappears. I use the BackgroundWorker to seperate the RefreshReport method of the ReportViewer from the UI thread. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Privat...
I am working on a project that transfers files over a network and I want to incorporate a JProgressBar to show the progress during file transfer but I need help on that. ...
Relating to this question, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/117810/upload-files-directly-to-amazon-s3-from-asp-net-application, is there any way to do this and have a progress bar? ---- EDIT ---- Two days later and still no luck with a direct way.
