Message box and Progress Bar Help!

-----------------------------------

[code]
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

TIMER1: ProgressBar1.Increment(25)
BUTTON1: Timer1.Start()

        MessageBox.Show("Message Here", "Title Here")


    End Sub
[/code]

When ever I debug my program and press the button (Button1) the timer goes but does not finish because the message pops up. How do I make it so that the message pops up after the Progress Bar finishes? Thanks in advance.

The timer is probably non-blocking. It will count something in parallel and maybe fire off some events. Check the documentation on specifics of how it works.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do, but a couple of ideas based off of your code:

To make it stop once it reaches 100 (or the maximum value of the progress bar):

Add an If statement that checks if the value of the progress bar equals the maximum value of the progress bar. If yes, display the message box.

Do something with the "tick" of the timer: (you'll have to enable it somehow; either via the button or enable it in the properties of the timer)

[code]Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        ProgressBar1.Increment(25)
    End Sub[/code]
