[delphi-en] Copy File Progress Bar

[rodveilleux]

Hello,
Trying to display a progress bar in Delphi 2006 while copying a 
large file. My example consists of a VCL Form, 
Button,OpenDialog,Gauge and Timer.
My problem is: The bar will not progress while Copy function is 
executing.

Thanks,
Rodney

Here is my code:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
 FromFile,
 ToFile,
 Path : string;
begin
 if OpenDialog1.Execute then
 begin {Create back up copy of DBF file}
   Path:= ExtractFilePath(OpenDialog1.FileName);
   FromFile:= OpenDialog1.FileName;
   ToFile:= Path+'Copy of '+ ExtractFileName(FromFile);
   Gauge1.MinValue:= 0;
   Gauge1.MaxValue:= 10;
   Gauge1.Progress:= Gauge1.MinValue;
   Timer1.Enabled:= true;
   CopyFile(PChar(FromFile),PChar(ToFile),False);
 end;
 ShowMessage('Complete');
 Timer1.Enabled:= False;
end;

procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
 with Gauge1 do
   if (Progress < MaxValue) then Progress:= Progress + 1
     else Progress:= 0;
 Application.ProcessMessages;
end;
