Progress Bar

Howdy,

I have a form that currently does a lot of processing when a button is clicked. I want to show the user a progress bar while the processing is being done. I want to open a new form with this progress bar that will update the progress bar as it processes and then close the window when it's done. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this, as if I place the processing code in the Form_Load event it does it all before the form even opens.

Any ideas

you could open up your progress form in the mainForm_Load event and do your processing in the progressForm_Load event. ah like so...

MainForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     ProgressForm frm = new ProgressForm();
     frm.Load += new EventHandler(progressForm_Load);
}

progressForm_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     //do some processing
     //PerformStep on progress bar on child form...
     //blah blah blah
}
Progress Bar
