How to enable a cancel button when an upload takes place.

Actually my aim to enable a cancel button while this upload takes place.I tried raising an event which makes the cancel button enabled while the upload process is going on.

But I am not able to click on the cancel button, i dont get the access to click it.Once the process is completed i am able to click the button to generate the event.

Can anyone tell me how this code can be done?

 

Is there anythinhg like VB's DoEvents in C#?? If so, it can help.

 

Thanks Shabbir for moving my query in to Queries and Discussion forum.

 

That's pretty good enough, that'll do the trick here.

 

I tried creating an event EventLoad(true) and making the cancelbutton visible in that event , still the button did not become visible.

Pls help me out.
This is the code sample which i am using.It contains the upload process and the Event i created.

Code:

private void DoUploadProcess(string filePath)
    {
        FileStream fileToUpLoad = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        int chunkSize = LoadManagerConstants.ChunkSize; //Chunk size is 532480               
        byte[] buffer = new byte[chunkSize];
        long fileSize = fileToUpLoad.Length;
        int bytesRead = fileToUpLoad.Read(buffer, LoadManagerConstants.Offset, chunkSize);//Offset=0

        this._taskId = this._workFlowProxy.BeginLoad(this._workFlowProxy.CurrentObjectClassID);
        this._statusProgressBar.Value = LoadManagerConstants.InitialValue;

        //If file to be uploaded is larger even after 6 uploads the chunk size is recalculated for the 
        //remaining uploads
        int iteration = 1;
        int preferredTransferDuration = LoadManagerConstants.PreferredTransferDuration; //PreferredTransferDuration = 2000
        int percentageOfTotalSize = LoadManagerConstants.PercentageOfTotalSize;//PercentageOfTotalSize = 1
        int bytesWritten;
        long timeForInitialChunks;
        long averageChunkTime;
        long sentBytes = 0;
        
        while (bytesRead > 0)
        {
            EventLoad.Invoke(true);
            if (gAbort) break;

            if (iteration == 1)
                this._startTime = DateTime.Now;

            bytesWritten = this._workFlowProxy.UploadChunk(this._taskId, buffer, sentBytes, bytesRead);
            if (iteration == LoadManagerConstants.AverageSample + 1)        //AverageSample = 5
            {
                timeForInitialChunks = (long)DateTime.Now.Subtract(this._startTime).TotalMilliseconds;
                averageChunkTime = System.Math.Max
                    (1, timeForInitialChunks / LoadManagerConstants.AverageSample);

                //Maximum size that can be uploaded at a time cannot be more than 4KB
                chunkSize = (int)System.Math.Min(LoadManagerConstants.MaxFileSize,
                    chunkSize * preferredTransferDuration / averageChunkTime);

                buffer = new byte[chunkSize];
            }
            sentBytes += bytesRead;

            //Retrieve and update the progress percentage of total file uploaded till now
            percentageOfTotalSize = (int)(((decimal)sentBytes / (decimal)fileSize) * 100);
            this.SetProgressStatus(percentageOfTotalSize);
            bytesRead = fileToUpLoad.Read(buffer, LoadManagerConstants.Offset, chunkSize);
            iteration++;
        }

        //Method called to inform the server file has uploaded
        bytesWritten = this._workFlowProxy.UploadChunk(this._taskId, buffer, sentBytes, bytesRead);
        fileToUpLoad.Close();
    }

 public void EventLoad()
        {
            _cancelButton.Visible = true;
            _cancelButton.Enabled = true;         
        }

 

Pls help me .Its urgent .I tried BeginInvoke still did not work.

Hi Shabbir,

I am still not able to have the focus on Cancelbutton so that i can click during an asynchronous process takes place.This is the code sample.

I am calling Test() method which will take some time to finish.During that time I wanna click on the cancel button which i am not able to do.

Code:

public delegate void AsyncFactorCaller();
AsyncFactorCaller factorDelegate;

 public void Test()
        {

            for (int i = 0; i <= 1000000000; i++)
            {

            }

           
        }
        public void CallBackTest(IAsyncResult result)
        {
            DisplayInfoDelegate del = new DisplayInfoDelegate(Tick1);
            AsyncFactorCaller factorDelegate = (AsyncFactorCaller)result.AsyncState;
            factorDelegate.EndInvoke(result);
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            btnCancel.Visible = true;
            btnCancel.Focus();
            btnCancel.Refresh();

            factorDelegate = new AsyncFactorCaller(Test);
            IAsyncResult result = factorDelegate.BeginInvoke(new AsyncCallback(CallBackTest), null);
            while (!result.IsCompleted)
            {
            }
        }

 

The problem comes when i have to make the button1 visible on the click of button2 and then make it invisible when the process(method Test()) gets over in the code.

 

I have found the solution to this which is working fine.I am using Background worker component to do this.

I had the problem that once the code in Dowork is completed i had the put the code of enabling the timer to execute some code in the timer which did not work at all.It may execute once or does not execute at all.

Right now i am using Dowork() method where i put the upload process.And then i have a timer which will monitor this upload process and then once the upload process is over ,i have a 2nd timer which will do the rest of the process as usual before.

Thanks Shabbir for taking time to reply to my question
