Help progressBar

[wanderson]

I made a very simple script to automate installation of programs and would like to increment it with a progress bar by the difference in time of initiation of the first automated program until the end of last without using many (GUICtrlSetData).

Somebody give me an idea or script that does it without using (ProgressOn).

wanderson,

You will either never arrive at 100% or go massively past it, so the indication is not very useful. When I have no idea how long a process will take, I usually use a "marquee" progress to at least indicate to the user that something is going on.

Here is an example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 400, 20, $PBS_MARQUEE)
_SendMessage(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $PBM_SETMARQUEE, True, 50) ; final parameter is update time in ms
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I hope this helps.
