M K I have a dialog box that takes a folder path and then creates thumbnails. It works well. However, my progress bar (I'm using the default .Net ProgBar) stops if the form loses focus. The code is still running in the background, but I no longer know how far along it's gone. My code is something like this: For Each curFile in arrFiles '...Add to dataset '...Create thumbnail x+=1 Me.pbImages.PerformStep() 'Have the progress bar perform a step Me.label1.Text = Me.pbImages.Value & " of " & Me.pbImages.Maximum Me.Refresh() Next I've tried some of the threaded examples, but I can't seem to get them right. It seems like it should be a simple thing. What am I missing.
