RadProgress bar fails to update.

[JUSTIN]

I'm not understanding why it fails to update in another thread correctly if the process is running fast. Example

If I do this, this will freeze the progress bar until its completed. It will get to a certain spot then stop.

radProgressBar2.Maximum = 1500;
for (var i = 1; i < 1500; i++)
{
    var p = i;
    radProgressBar2.Value1 = p;
    Thread.Sleep((int)numericUpDown1.Value);
}
radProgressBar2.Value1 = 0;
radProgressBar2.Text = "Task Completed!";

If i do this 

radProgressBar1.Maximum = 1500;
for (var i = 1; i < 1500; i++)
{
    var p = i;
    radProgressBar1.SafeInvoke(() => radProgressBar1.Value1 = p, false);
    Thread.Sleep((int) numericUpDown1.Value);
}

using a custom invoke it works just fine. I dont understand why it doesnt work correctly with the build in feature. This is also happening on the status progress bar as well.. Here is a quick app source.

Also it seems to work with the built in features using Win7 or above, Its freezing on windows xp sp3 


Edit: Never mind i can not attach rar, or .zip to this thread.

Hello Justin,

Thank you for writing.

The reason why the progress bar does not update when you are doing something in the UI thread is because it has to recalculate its layout and then draw itself. It is always advisable to perform long running tasks in a background thread. As to the difference between XP and Win 7, there are differences in the lifecycle and message processing of applications in the different operating systems.

I hope this clears things up. If you need further assistance, I would be glad to help.
 
All the best,
