I'm trying to use this event but i really don't know how.
My objective is while a image is loading in a new form, get a message saying
that the image is loading and a progess bar, after the image is loaded,
it'll disapear.
I think that is with onprogress event.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thx in advance

Not being an expert, one thing I've learnt is "making your
application breath". With this I mean, when you launch an event
it requries you to inform your users how far the progress
is -> use Application->ProcessMessages();

For a Progressbar that would mean if your Image is performing
a task the progressbar could progress by:

if (ProgressBar1->Position == //max position){
ProgressBar1->Position = 0;
}
else
{
ProgressBar1->Position = ProgressBar1->Position +1;
ProgressBar1->Step = 1;
}
Application->ProcessMessages();

Just an example, I never figured out what the OnProgress event could do but this is just an example to maybe get you started.

Good luck!
