Consider an example where a layout item contains a ProgressBarControl and the ProgressBarControl’s position is displayed within the item’s text region. The ProgressBarControl is used to display the progress of a lengthy operation. The layout item and the control must be manually updated during the operation after each progress step.

method is called.
using System.Threading;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
layoutControlItem1.Text = i.ToString();
progressBarControl1.Position = i;
// Update the layout item and its control.
layoutControlItem1.Update();
// Imitate a lengthy operation.
Thread.Sleep(100);
