Re: Here is a friendly Progress Bar for you to use

This is a ten year old thread in the desktop section and like all xdialog code, Desktop applications only. Is that where you're trying to use it?

I have had a few people e-mail me asking if they can use this in their commercial apps

The answer is Yes - it is there for the community

You need to save the attached text file as a function called progressbar (via the code Tab - Create New Function , paste the text from the text file)

Yo use it just call it with the required parameters as per the sample code I supplied

I thought I would share a a function for a progress bar which I find very handy. (see attachment)
To use it in your code simply call the function as follows:-

ProgressBar ({Caption Title},{Message},{Percentage},[Show% T/F {optional}]

For Example:

'*** Sample Test Code *****
nMax = 1000
for nCount=1 to nMax
xProgressBar=nCount/nMax*100
progressbar("Progress","Updating - Please Wait!",xProgressBar,.F.)
next nCount


Its that simple, you do not even have to worry about only calling the function only when the percentage has changed to the next whole number, the function will do it for you!(ie: As in the above example which would yield percentages of 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 etc) and would otherwise result in exceessive screen updating. (and obviously slow down your process loop)
