How to make a Progress bar! [TuT]

Ok well this is just a request i got randomly but who cares.

What you will need:
1 progress bar
1 timer
2 buttons
-----------------------------------
Time to code!
-------------
Code button 2 (or the stop button) as:

Timer1.stop

--------------------------------------
Code the start button as:

Timer1.start

---------------------------------------
Then code the Timer as:

Progressbar1.increment(+1)

If progressbar1.value=100 Then

Messagebox.show ("finsished")

Me.close

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

Good job! However your proposition will cause the messagebox to show up multiple times (each time the timer ticks before you click 'ok'), which may be noisy. Here is what I suggest:

        ProgressBar1.Increment(+1)

        If ProgressBar1.Value = 100 Then

            Timer1.Stop()

            MessageBox.Show("Finished!")

        End If

This will also prevent your form from being closed down.
