My requirement is to change the color of progress bar to red whenever I click a button. I don't want to comment out Application.EnableVisualStyles().
So I tried using SendMessage. My code:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam);
private const Int32 WM_USER = 0x0400;
private const Int32 CCM_FIRST = 0x2000;
private const Int32 PBM_SETBARCOLOR = WM_USER + 9;
private const Int32 PBM_SETBKCOLOR = CCM_FIRST + 1;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate
{
SendMessage(this.progressBar1.Handle, PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Red));
SendMessage(this.progressBar1.Handle, PBM_SETBKCOLOR, 0, ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Red));
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Continuous;
progressBar1.Value = progressBar1.Maximum;
});
}
It is not working. I don't know why. Can u please help
