Disabling .NET progressbar animation when changing value?

by

This animation feature was introduced in Vista with the Aero theme.

There is a workaround though. If you move the progress backwards, the animation is not shown. So if you want it to advance by 50 instantly, increment Value by 51, then immediately decrement by 1.

You get into strife when close to 100% because you can’t set Value to 101 (I’m assuming Maximum is set to 100). Instead set Maximum to 1000, say, increase to 1000, decrease to 999, and then move back to 1000.

Anyway, it’s kind of weird, but it does have the benefit of giving you the desired effect!
