Show Working message until method is executed Rad Windows Form

[Sanjaya Kodagoda]

I want to show waiting message or working message until my method executed. I tried with RadWaitingBar. But its not started as I am expecting. Here is my code.

try
                {
                    WaitingBar(true);
                    Save();
                    WaitingBar(false);
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {
                    WaitingBar(false);
                    RadMessageBox.Show("Error Occured");
                    throw;
                }

private void WaitingBar(bool input)
        {
            if (input == true)
            {
                radWaitingBar1.Visible = true;
                radWaitingBar1.StartWaiting();
                radWaitingBar1.Invalidate();
                radWaitingBar1.Update();
                radWaitingBar1.Refresh();
                Application.DoEvents();
            }
            else
            {
                radWaitingBar1.Visible = false;
                radWaitingBar1.StopWaiting();
            }
        }

Can we lock Rad Windows form until my method finished and show some animation?
Thanks

Hi Sanjaya,

Thank you for writing.

I am not sure what the problem is in your case since the provided information is insufficient for me to investigate properly. You can read the article: Using WaitingBar with a Background Worker | UI for WinForms Documentation it will show you the general approach of reporting a long running operation. I would also suggest you not to use Application.DoEvents since it may cause issues with our layouts due to their asynchronous nature. 

If you require further assistance I would like to kindly ask you to provide me with some additional details about your case.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards,
George
