What is ProgressBar Control in VB.net?
The Window ProgressBar Control in VB.net is used by the user to recognize the status of some set actions.
Like downloading a sizable file from the internet, copying files, installing software, computing intricate results, and more.
In order for you to test your VB.net Code provided in this lesson, you must test the code in your code editor.
Let’s create a ProgressBar by dragging a Progress Bar control from the Toolbox and dropping it on the form.

Let’s create a program to display the Progress Bar in the VB.NET Windows form.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click_2(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ProgressBar1.Visible = True
Dim i As Integer
ProgressBar1.Minimum = 0
ProgressBar1.Maximum = 300
For i = 0 To 300 Step 1
ProgressBar1.Value = i
If i > ProgressBar1.Maximum Then
i = ProgressBar1.Maximum
End If
Next
MsgBox("Successfully Completed")
End Sub
End Class
Program Output:
Click on the Show Progress Bar button to display the progress status at run time in Windows Form.
