Take two of these and call me in the morning: http://www.bucktailsoftware.com/developer/#LongTask :) Or if you want a more specific answer: To keep your progress bar updated while in a tight loop, use a counter, and only update it every 10th or 20th or 100th time through (depending on how tight your loop is). You may need to play with it a bit to find which number gives you the best trade-off between keeping your loop speedy and keeping your user informed. The LongTask classes are free to use, and provide an easy way to have a progress bar that shows up if your task goes more than some short period of time (like about 1.5 seconds, IIRC). LongTask comes with a progress dialog, a timer, and a Thread sub-class with built-in methods for setting the Description (what the process is doing), max value, current value, and (experimentally) estimated time remaining.
