How to use activity indicator?
posted

We have a form that is used for display purposes and does not require any user intervention other than closing it.   I have a timer that fires off after the form is loaded to run a process that basically calls a stored proc that does some stuff on the database.  I would like to have the activity indicator to be active while this is happening. 

In my constructor I have the following:


            ultraActivityIndicator1.AnimationEnabled = true;
            ultraActivityIndicator1.AnimationSpeed = 20;

I tried putting the code in the timer_tick event like this:

        void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            myTimer.Enabled = false;
            ultraActivityIndicator1.Start(true);

            ComputeServices();

            ultraActivityIndicator1.Stop();
            ultraActivityIndicator1.Visible = false;
            
            InitFormStuff();
        }

However the indicator doesnt do anything... how do I get this to work?

thanks!
