Progress Bar during FTP Download

[gbargsley]

Hello all...

I am working on a program that downloads a file with the ChillKatFTP dll. I am trying to figure out how I can run a progress bar while the FTP download is going. The file is about 20 MB, so it will take about 5 minutes on our WAN, and I do not want my users to get resless...

Any ideas.

Find out if the ChillKatFTP dll raises any events while a download is in progress. If so, use that to update a progress bar. If not, then you're mostly out of luck -- the only thing you can do is put up an animated gif to let them know something is going on.

I do not really know what "raising an event" is??

If you do not see it, do you have any detailed ideas what I can do?

I don't see any events at all. So you're stuck with having to fake it.

I found a couple of file transfer AVI files, but I cannot figure out how to put it on my form and make it run over and over again until the FTP is done.

I tried an OLE and cannot figure out how to make it play and loop.
