Control Upload progress

[Monica]

Hi all!!

I'm writing a small FTP uploader app, very simple, using only the embedded UDF functions.

So, I use _FTP_Open -> open my connection, _FTP_DirSetCurrent -> set correctly current dir, _FTP_ProgressUpload -> upload my files with progress bar, and finally _FTP_Close for close the connection.

All works great great great!

But i want to customize the progress text and title that appear during the upload.

The only way i find is to specify a custom function in _FTP_ProgressUpload function.

I've tested this code:

_FTP_ProgressUpload($conn, $aFile, $remoteFileName, "_Update_Progress(10)")

but it falis!

The function "_Update_Progress" is the same in the online help, but i don't understand HOW IT WORKS:

Func _UpdateProgress($Percentage)
                      GUICtrlSetData($ProgressBarCtrl,$percent)
                      Switch GUIGetMsg()
                      Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                            Return -1 ; _FTP_UploadProgress Aborts with -1, so you can exit you app afterwards
                        Case $Btn_Cancel
                           Return 0 ; Just Cancel, without special Return value
                      EndSwitch
                      Return 1 ; Otherwise contine Upload
Endfunc

Anyone help me? Thanks!!!

Edit: I've tried to put a msgBox at the beginning of the called function but nothing happen! Why the function isn't called???

Just provide the name of the function to call, without parens or parameters:

_FTP_ProgressUpload($conn, $aFile, $remoteFileName, "_Update_Progress")

The function will be called with the percentage added as a parameter. For this example, at 51%, it would called internally by:

$ret = Call("_Update_Progress", 51)

That entry in the help file sucks. Hopefully it will be cleaned up soon.

Bingo! Great, all works with MY progress bar now!!! I love it!

Thanks PsaltyDS, so much... I want to post my (simple simple) code, if helpful for someone, but i must tell you that this function (_FTP_ProgressUpload) has not an optimal GUI management, sigh! If the file size is > 20 MB, all the bytes are trasmitted correctly to server, but my main autoIt3 window freeze many times, and i must try several times to click the stop button till it work and stop my upload. Have you any idea how to prevent this? (I'm thinking something like VB doEvents function called on main window...) My code:

In main function, just create (in a global var) a progress bar control:

Global $progress, $buttonstopUpload
$progress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(9, 310, 338, 10) ;progress upload bar
$buttonstopUpload = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 340, 323)

In the GUI events management: nothing

The upload funcion call:

if (_FTP_ProgressUpload($conn, $aFile, $remoteFileName, "_UpdateProgress")) Then
            MsgBox(0, "OK", "File successfully uploaded!")
            GUICtrlSetData($progress, 0)
        Else ;[if @error = -6 then button stop pressed]
            MsgBox(0, "ERROR", "Error during upload (error code: " & @error & ").")
            GUICtrlSetData($progress, 0)
        EndIf

The function _UpdateProgress:

Func _UpdateProgress($percent)
                      GUICtrlSetData($progress, $percent)
                      Switch GUIGetMsg()
                        Case $buttonstopUpload
                           Return 0 ; Just Cancel
                      EndSwitch
                      Return 1 ; Otherwise contine Upload
Endfunc

Bye!
