Progress Bar for Pinging

[RedBeardOne]

Hi everyone,
First post here. Just wanted to say thanks for having this community. I have been using PowerShell for a couple of years now, mostly 1-10 liners. Now, I am trying to write a self-help tool, as a part of this tool, I am running a ping stack i.e. local host, gateway, dc, google. My boss wanted a progress bar, so after searching google and asking on The Scripting Guys Forum, I came here. I am trying to understand the Add-JobTracker as a way pass values to the progress bar but I am making little progress. I can get it to work if I am just trying to make it count to 100, but beyond that my form just hangs.

You have to read the output of the ping in the update script.

A ping is not a good choice for a progress bar. I would just display the results in a textbox as they arrive.

If you are asking for count of 50 then set the pbar to 50 and increment it every time you receive a result.

Thanks for the reply. I will look for that on the forums here, and then come back if I have another question.
