Progress bar increment by 1 every 100th of second
- by Matthew De'Loughry
I'm trying to get a JProgressBar to increment by 1 every 100th of a second, and at the moment I'm using Thread.sleep(100) inside a while statement like so:
try {
while (i<=100){
doTime();
}
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(SplashScreen.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
public void doTime() throws InterruptedException{
jLabel1.setText("sleeping");
Thread.sleep(100);
jLabel1.setText("start");
i++;
pb.setValue(i);
pb.repaint();
}
and If I debug by doing a System.out.println it displays in real time but the swing GUI freezes until it drops out of the while loop can anyone help?
thanks
matt
