Simple code that can be used to asynchronously report the progress of operations

• Code is available on nuget.
• search simpleprogresswindow
• author: esimiele
• Follow 'To Use' steps below to use the code
• Code is supplied here so others can see how I achieved this solution

v1.2 updates:

• fixed issue with auto close of progress window when operations are completed (it would close whether operations finished successfully or failed)
• now only closes automatically if operations were successful
• default closeout time set to 3 seconds

v1.1 updates:

• Option to set the window to close once operations are finished (SetCloseOnFinish method)
  • first argument is bool option to close window, second is timeout before close in msec
  • call this method in the constructor of the new class (default is set to leave window up until user closes window)
• Updated UI to report the time elapsed since start of running
• Added protected method to grab the elapsed time in the class derived from simplemtbase

To use:

• In your code, create a new class
• add 'using SimpleProgressWindow;' to using directives
• Make the class derive from SimpleMTBase
• Implement override of virtual function Run in the newly created class: e.g., public override bool Run() { }
• Create an instance of this new class.
• Call the execute function of this class (contained in SimpleMTBase)
• Add function calls inside the overridden Run function in the newly created class
• Use UpdateUILabel and ProvideUIUpdate to update the progress window
