ProgressBar.Step Property

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:
System.Windows.Forms.dll

Gets or sets the amount by which a call to the PerformStep() method increases the current position of the progress bar.

public:
 property int Step { int get(); void set(int value); };
public int Step { get; set; }
member this.Step : int with get, set
Public Property Step As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The amount by which to increment the progress bar with each call to the PerformStep() method. The default is 10.

Examples

The following code example uses a ProgressBar control to display the progress of a file copy operation. The example uses the Minimum and Maximum properties to specify a range for the ProgressBar that is equivalent to the number of files to copy. The code also uses the Step property with the PerformStep method to increment the value of the ProgressBar as a file is copied. This example requires that you have a ProgressBar control created called pBar1 that is created within a Form, and that there is a method created called CopyFile (that returns a Boolean value indicating the file copy operation was completed successfully) that performs the file copy operation. The code also requires that an array of strings containing the files to copy is created and passed to the CopyWithProgress method defined in the example, and that the method is called from another method or event in the Form.

private:
   void CopyWithProgress( array<String^>^filenames )
   {
      // Display the ProgressBar control.
      pBar1->Visible = true;

      // Set Minimum to 1 to represent the first file being copied.
      pBar1->Minimum = 1;

      // Set Maximum to the total number of files to copy.
      pBar1->Maximum = filenames->Length;

      // Set the initial value of the ProgressBar.
      pBar1->Value = 1;

      // Set the Step property to a value of 1 to represent each file being copied.
      pBar1->Step = 1;

      // Loop through all files to copy.
      for ( int x = 1; x <= filenames->Length; x++ )
      {
         // Copy the file and increment the ProgressBar if successful.
         if ( CopyFile( filenames[ x - 1 ] ) == true )
         {
            // Perform the increment on the ProgressBar.
            pBar1->PerformStep();
         }
      }
   }

private void CopyWithProgress(string[] filenames)
{
    // Display the ProgressBar control.
    pBar1.Visible = true;
    // Set Minimum to 1 to represent the first file being copied.
    pBar1.Minimum = 1;
    // Set Maximum to the total number of files to copy.
    pBar1.Maximum = filenames.Length;
    // Set the initial value of the ProgressBar.
    pBar1.Value = 1;
    // Set the Step property to a value of 1 to represent each file being copied.
    pBar1.Step = 1;
    
    // Loop through all files to copy.
    for (int x = 1; x <= filenames.Length; x++)
    {
        // Copy the file and increment the ProgressBar if successful.
        if(CopyFile(filenames[x-1]) == true)
        {
            // Perform the increment on the ProgressBar.
            pBar1.PerformStep();
        }
    }
}

Private Sub CopyWithProgress(ByVal ParamArray filenames As String())
    ' Display the ProgressBar control.
    pBar1.Visible = True
    ' Set Minimum to 1 to represent the first file being copied.
    pBar1.Minimum = 1
    ' Set Maximum to the total number of files to copy.
    pBar1.Maximum = filenames.Length
    ' Set the initial value of the ProgressBar.
    pBar1.Value = 1
    ' Set the Step property to a value of 1 to represent each file being copied.
    pBar1.Step = 1

    ' Loop through all files to copy.
    Dim x As Integer
    for x = 1 To filenames.Length - 1
        ' Copy the file and increment the ProgressBar if successful.
        If CopyFile(filenames(x - 1)) = True Then
            ' Perform the increment on the ProgressBar.
            pBar1.PerformStep()
        End If
    Next x
End Sub

Remarks

You can use the Step property to specify the amount that each completed task in an operation changes the value of the progress bar. For example, if you are copying a group of files, you might want to set the value of the Step property to 1 and the value of the Maximum property to the total number of files to copy. When each file is copied, you can call the PerformStep method to increment the progress bar by the value of the Step property. If you want to have more flexible control of the value of the progress bar, you can use the Increment method or set the value of the Value property directly.
