Hi Ansys-Team,

I've a question about updating a progress bar, which I created with Windows Forms.
When I go through a nested loop, I try to update every 25% the progress bar, which works for the label I created in the progress bar ui, but the progessbar itself is behind. For example when I reach 25%, the label shows 25%, but the progress bar is at 0. When the label is updated to 50%, which works, the progress bar shows 25%. Is there a solution for this?

totalNodesToMove  = len(dataToMoveNodeList) * len(mesh.Nodes)
progressStep  = max(1, int(totalNodesToMove * 0.25))
nextProgressUpdate = progressStep
pb = ProgressBarForm.ProgressBarForm(100, path)
percent = 0
pb.Show()
 
with Transaction(True):
            i = 1
            for data in dataToMoveNodeList:
                for node in mesh.Nodes:
                    node_y = node.Y
                    #some other code
 
                    if i >= nextProgressUpdate:
                        percent = (i * 100) // totalNodesToMove
                        pb.update_progress(percent, "Circumferential")
                        #ExtAPI.Application.InvokeBackground(lambda p=percent: pb.update_progress(p, "Circumferential"))
                        nextProgressUpdate += progressStep
                        System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
                    i += 1
 
                    #Go to next node if rm is more or less equal to new calculated radius. This should save a lot of time for node move.
                    if round(math.sqrt(math.pow(newX, 2) + math.pow(newZ, 2)), 4) == round(middle_radius, 4) or abs(fraction) <= 1e-12:
                        continue
 
                    newLocX = Quantity(newX * correctionScaling, "m")
                    newLocY = Quantity(node.Y * correctionScaling, "m")
                    newLocZ = Quantity(newZ * correctionScaling, "m")
                    nodeMove.MoveNode(node.Id, newLocX, newLocY, newLocZ)

Hello! Where did you get the ProgressBarForm object from? This isn't strictly about Ansys so I'm not sure how much we can help, but what I can say is when working with front-end stuff like this you often need to redraw windows to get dynamic updates. That is certainly true with matplotlib. Does this have a similar concept going on?

Hello,

thanks for the answer. I got the ProgressBarForm from System.Windows.Forms and I did ProgressBar.Refresh() as well as Application.DoEvents().
