SV: Updating status label and status bar

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

bar.PerformStep ();
if (bar.Value < bar.Maximum)
status.Text = "Pretending to work!";
else
status.Text = "Done.";


If you want to see the value at 100% before the text saying done shows up, then you need to put a small delay in the "else" part of your code.

I noticed that there's a property for the bar stating what time
it should take for the animation to move the fill to the requested spot. I'm guessing that's the time i should delay
my text updating by. Correct?

When you mentioned a delay - is there an other way to do
it than threads? I've found this solution.

else {
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (1000);
status.Text = "Done."; }

The thing is that while it postpones the text update (good, good) it also removes the animation of the bar. By other
words - the bar waits for a second, then skips to the new
position, instead of being "pumped-up".

Most of all, it would be nice to get a report from the bar saying "yey, i'm done animating" and then proceede.
Too much?
