I am trying to program the progress bar to load in a full bar instead of blocks.
i have change the style to continuous but still it load in blocks.
I am trying to program the progress bar to load according to what value i type in the textbox , i have set its maximum value to be 2000
This is the code i have written... See if the way i program got error which causes it to load in blocks..:

private

void txtDataReceived_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

int Counter = Convert.ToInt32(txtDataReceived.Text);

this.progressBar1.Maximum = 2000;

this.progressBar1.Minimum = 0;

this.progressBar1.Value = Convert.ToInt32(Counter);

}

Hi Heri,

You do not need to set Maximum and Minimum properties of ProgressBar each time the TextChanged event of TextBox fired. You just need to set them when the form is loaded. When the value between maximum and minimum reaches 2000, I think the progressbar should perform smoothly. But your code will result in block effect. For example, if I enter 10, then I change it to 11; I need to delete 0 and press 1, the progressbar’s value will turn to 1 and then turn to 11. So you’d better use NumericUpDown control instead.

If I misunderstood you, please feel free to tell me.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian

I think Heri wants a Vista-styled progress bar in a Windows XP environment.  XP progress bars are block-based, while Vista progress bars are continuous.

If this is the case, you'll need to create your own progress bar because simply put, Windows XP does not provide a continuous progress bar (to the best of my knowledge).

The OP has posted this same question in what seems dozens of forums.  Answer is here.   Works on XP too.
