How to control Progress Bar in Visual Basic 2008 when a user clicks Button 1 or Button 2?

I have just gotten into software development and I was wondering I have just installed Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and started building my first Windows Form Application. Here is where I am stuck, when a user clicks button 1 I want them to see a marquee progress bar and see text or an image that says Enabled, but not stop or disappear until they click button 2 , also when a user clicks button 1 I want to run a task in the background while the user sees the marquee progress bar and image/text and the task to end when the person clicks button 2. Hopefully I am not speaking gibberish and you people understand what I am saying because like I said, I extremely new at this but slowly, very slowly, trying to understand.How to control Progress Bar in Visual Basic 2008 when a user clicks Button 1 or Button 2?
instead of progress bar use slider with min and max value when slider reaches max value reset it to min value.

Try this:


Add a label, a timer and 2 buttons.


Size your form to 300 by 300.


Cut and paste this into the code pane.


Play around with the ';x'; value and the timer interval.





Public Class Form1


Dim x, y As Long





Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick





x = x - 5


Label1.Location = New Point(x, y)


If x %26lt; -20 Then x = 300








End Sub





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


x = 350


y = 10





Button1.Text = ';Start';


Timer1.Enabled = True








End Sub





Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click





Button2.Text = ';Stop';


Timer1.Enabled = False





End Sub


End Class
