Greetings.

Now that I have the ProgressBar to work, Smile

, I want to say which files are being worked with. I have this code,

Code:

char[][] allfiles = std.file.listdir(fromDir,"*");
pBar.minimum = 0;
pBar.maximum = allfiles.length - 1;
pBar.step = 1;
foreach(char[] f; allfiles)
{
info.text = "moving " ~ f;
txtNotes.text = "moving " ~ f;
//msgBox(f); // with this one uncommented, it works...
std.c.time.msleep(50);
if (f == "Thumbs.db:encryptable")
{
OpenWindowsExplorer(fromDir);
msgBox("Please search from within the directories for a file name\n\n" ~
"'Thumbs.db:encryptable'\n\n and delete it. After deleting it, click OK.");
pBar.performStep();
continue;
}
char[] fn = GetFileName(f); // To file
if (fn == "Thumbs.db")
{
try
{
info.text = "deleting " ~ f;
std.c.time.msleep(50);
std.file.remove(f);
}
catch (FileException e)
{
error.text = "Error deleting file: " ~ e.toString();
std.c.time.msleep(50);
}
pBar.performStep();
continue;
}
char[] ffile = toDir[0 .. 1] ~ f[1 .. $];
char[] fdir = std.path.getDirName(f);
char[] tdir = std.path.getDirName(ffile);
CreateDirectory(tdir);
try
{
std.file.rename(f,ffile);
}
catch (FileException e)
{
error.text = "Error moving file: " ~ e.toString();
std.c.time.msleep(50);
}
pBar.performStep();
}
pBar.value = 0;

which works fine, with the exception that the setting of the info.text and txtNotes.text do not get displayed with the values I am assigning. Apparently, it may be too fast for the values to be placed there, but I have placed big files in the directories, so that it takes a while to move, but the values of info.text, error.text (which are labels) and txtNotes.text do not get updated with the info. The progress bar is working like a charm, now I need the info, error and txtNotes to update. Oh, if I uncomment the msgBox after the assignment, it displays the values, which makes me think that there is some kind of speed problem with displaying them. I also tried setting some small wait time, but that does not work either... These three (error, info and txtNotes were created by entice.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

jose

You can use Application.doEvents(); to allow other events (like paint) to be processed.

Thanks, Chris.

New working code...

Code:

char[][] allfiles = std.file.listdir(fromDir,"*");
pBar.minimum = 0;
pBar.maximum = allfiles.length - 1;
pBar.step = 1;
foreach(char[] f; allfiles)
{
Application.doEvents(); // Don't lock up the window.
info.text = "moving " ~ f;
txtNotes.text = "moving " ~ f;
//msgBox(f); // with this one uncommented, it works...
std.c.time.msleep(50);
if (f == "Thumbs.db:encryptable")
{
OpenWindowsExplorer(fromDir);
msgBox("Please search from within the directories for a file name\n\n" ~
"'Thumbs.db:encryptable'\n\n and delete it. After deleting it, click OK.");
pBar.performStep();
continue;
}
char[] fn = GetFileName(f); // To file
if (fn == "Thumbs.db")
{
try
{
info.text = "deleting " ~ f;
std.c.time.msleep(50);
std.file.remove(f);
}
catch (FileException e)
{
error.text = "Error deleting file: " ~ e.toString();
std.c.time.msleep(50);
}
pBar.performStep();
continue;
}
char[] ffile = toDir[0 .. 1] ~ f[1 .. $];
char[] fdir = std.path.getDirName(f);
char[] tdir = std.path.getDirName(ffile);
CreateDirectory(tdir);
try
{
std.file.rename(f,ffile);
}
catch (FileException e)
{
error.text = "Error moving file: " ~ e.toString();
std.c.time.msleep(50);
}
pBar.performStep();
}
pBar.value = 0;

thanks again.
