Progress bar

[Necromorph]

can you set a progress bar to a file copy,

with the example in the help doc, it seems that you would have to know the increment of time, but what if it takes longer from one pc to another.

i probably just missing something obvious. so sorry if this is a dumb question.

thanks

I haven't tried it, but here's a thought. I wonder if you can filegetsize on the file as it is being copied to it's new location

ie copying c:\temp.txt to d:\temp.txt and using file get size on d:\temp.txt

if that can work then you can set a variable linked to the file size and periodically check the file size and use that for your progress bar

?

thats a good thought, i will experiment with that. thanks a lot for you reply.

okay, can't quite get this to work, when i try to do it, it runs in progression of the filecopy, then the progress bar, i can't quite get it to run at the same time. open to suggestions. thanks
