How to track progress durring appending files...

I need help again and hopefully this will be the last thing I need. I did not find out how to track progress while StarBurn is appending files. I have about 550MB to add and its taking 10 min or so.

Is there a way to track progess just like the callback being done to the JolietImage object?

Quote:

Dim Device As StarBurn.CDevice = Devices.Item(DriveComboBox.SelectedIndex + 1)
Try
Dim Root As New StarBurn.CNode
Dim JolietImage As StarBurn.CJolietImageClass
JolietImage = New StarBurn.CJolietImageClass
Root = JolietImage.Root

Root.AddFolder("I386", "C:\I386")
Root.AddFile("WIN51", "C:\WIN51")
Root.AddFile("WIN51IP", "C:\WIN51IP")
Root.AddFile("WIN51IP.SP2", "C:\WIN51IP.SP2")

JolietImage.SetBootImage("C:\CDimage\boot.img", StarBurn.SBX_MEDIA_TYPE.SBX_ELTORITO_MEDIA_CUSTOM, 4, True)

Dim cb As CallBack
cb = New CallBack(Me)

ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Writing image to file"

JolietImage.Build(0, "CUSTOMXP", "CUSTOMXP")
JolietImage.SaveImageToFile("F:\XP.ISO", cb)

'JolietImage.Build(0, "TEST", "TEST")

'Device.TrackAtOnceFromFileSystemHandle(JolietImage.FileSystemHandle, False, False)

Catch ex As Exception
Dim strException As String = ex.Message
MessageBox.Show(strException)
Finally
If Not IsNothing(Device) Then
Device.Eject()
Device = Nothing
End If
End Try

Two of the guys who know Visual Basic have bad habit of spending Saturdays with their girlfriends and families. So please wait for Monday, they already got reply to you in their schedule.

Hi!

1. So, to avoid freeze of the user interface we recommend calling the long processes in a new thread (because the StarBurn OCX "provides" only synchronous callbacks!!)
2. JolieteImage class does not provide callback for tracking progress of operations of adding files/directories. In this case we propose to use the Net ProgressBar with the Marquee style or use the "Hourglass" cursor to indicate that process in the progress.

Thanx,

...unfortunately Windows does not have any number of node counters for each foder. So there's virtually no way to trace and build correct progress for adding big folder (we need to parse it ourselves recursively to calculate # of entries per node - amount of time to do this is approx. the same we need to build file tree - does not make any sense

. That's it
