Where you are forcing a refresh, you could try calling the control's Refresh() instead or alternatively Invalidate() followed by Update().


>Since I moved to Windows 7, the progress bar control is offset when displaying the percentage. Basically, I am doing a DoEvents() at the end to refresh the display. It goes like this:

>However, depending on the process, the percentage display will be offset by 1 to 20%. Basically, showing 100% will be as if it would be at 85%. Then, 15% will be as if it would be 0%. And, so will be the case for various variations depending on the process.

>The only way I have succeeded to make it work as it was under XP Pro is to force a Messagebox.Show() after each call to this method. For some kind of reason, this makes the desktop to react and all is ok. Of course, I cannot run with Message.Show() turned ON. So, if anyone would have an idea for a workaround, I would be happy to try it.
