_ProgressSetMarquee() - Starts/Stops the $PBS_MARQUEE style on a ProgressBar.

#1 ·  Posted (edited)

I always see questions around the Forum about how to create a ProgressBar that shows at least something is happening, despite having no way of counting (see Traditional Example.) This is where _ProgressSetMarquee() is brilliant, because it creates the Marquee style (see Image) without all the fuss of knowing about _SendMessage() etc.. Try the Example below.

Example:

See post #7 for a short but simple example.

or continue for those interested in API calling ...

WARNING: The code below is old, outdated and poorly scripted, therefore caution should be used when viewing this code!

Traditional Example:

 

_Main()

Func _Main()
    GUICreate("Standard use of a ProgressBar()", 240, 50, -1, -1)
    Local $Progress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 220, 20)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    For $A = 1 To 100
        GUICtrlSetData($Progress, $A)
        Sleep(50)
        If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then ExitLoop
    Next

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case -3
                Exit
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

Thanks! I forgot to mention that the Style (not ExStyle) of the ProgressBar should be set with 0x0008, but its not a big deal because the Function checks the Style of the ProgressBar and changes accordingly.

Update: Added _ProgressSetTheme() and improved _ProgressSetMarquee(). Also added a 2nd Example showing the use of 'theming' the ProgressBar to add a custom color. See OP for more details.

OK, so after all that messing around with API calls, deleting the ProgressBar to Reset the Marquee effect plus more ... all it actually took was just setting the GUICtrlSetStyle() again! :)

I was inspired by >this post to re-evaluate the code and found this little trick with GUICtrlSetStyle()!

I suppose I shouldn't be disappointed at least I learnt from this experience :)

Simple Marquee Progress:

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

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate('Marquee ProgressBar', 300, 90)
    Local $iProgressBar = GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 280, 20, $PBS_MARQUEE) ; Create a progressbar using the marquee style
    Local $iStart = GUICtrlCreateButton('Start', 30, 60, 85, 25)
    Local $iStop = GUICtrlCreateButton('Stop', 120, 60, 85, 25)
    Local $iReset = GUICtrlCreateButton('Stop && Reset', 210, 60, 85, 25)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

            Case $iStart
                _ProgressMarquee_Start($iProgressBar) ; Start the marquee effect

            Case $iStop
                _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iProgressBar) ; Stop the marquee effect

            Case $iReset
                _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iProgressBar, True) ; Stop the marquee effect and reset the progressbar

        EndSwitch
    WEnd

    ; Tidy resources
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: _ProgressMarquee_Start
; Description ...: Start the marquee effect
; Syntax ........: _ProgressMarquee_Start($iControlID)
; Parameters ....: $iControlID          - ControlID of a progressbar using the $PBS_MARQUEE style
; Return values .: Success - True
;                  Failure - False
; Author ........: guinness
; Example .......: Yes
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _ProgressMarquee_Start($iControlID)
    Return GUICtrlSendMsg($iControlID, $PBM_SETMARQUEE, True, 50)
EndFunc   ;==>_ProgressMarquee_Start

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: _ProgressMarquee_Stop
; Description ...: Stop the marquee effect
; Syntax ........: _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iControlID[, $bReset = False])
; Parameters ....: $iControlID          - ControlID of a progressbar using the $PBS_MARQUEE style
;                  $bReset              - [optional] Reset the progressbar, True - Reset or False - Don't reset. Default is False
; Return values .: Success - True
;                  Failure - False
; Author ........: guinness
; Example .......: Yes
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iControlID, $bReset = False)
    Local $bReturn = GUICtrlSendMsg($iControlID, $PBM_SETMARQUEE, False, 50)
    If $bReturn And $bReset Then
        GUICtrlSetStyle($iControlID, $PBS_MARQUEE)
    EndIf

    Return $bReturn
EndFunc   ;==>_ProgressMarquee_Stop

How can I use this simple script:

_Main()  Func _Main()     GUICreate("Standard use of a ProgressBar()", 240, 50, -1, -1)     Local $Progress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 220, 20)     GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)      For $A = 1 To 100         GUICtrlSetData($Progress, $A)         Sleep(50)         If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then ExitLoop     Next      While 1         Switch GUIGetMsg()             Case -3                 Exit         EndSwitch     WEnd EndFunc   ;==>_Main

in a way that closes it self when the bar reach 100% ?

also is there a way to set it to advance let's say based on how many applications were installed or how many files were copied etc?

Maybe you want a standard incremented ProgressBar. Have a look at GUICtrlCreateProgress() in the Help File to get an idea.

Hi all.

I'm trying to use this UDF, but when running my function, the progress bar freezes. See example:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $iProgress_1, $iButton_1, $iButton_2, $iButton_3
    GUICreate("Simple use of a Marquee ProgressBar()", 240, 90, -1, -1)
    $iProgress_1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 220, 20, $PBS_MARQUEE)
    $iButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Start", 10, 60, 70, 25)
    $iButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("S&top", 85, 60, 70, 25)
    $iButton_3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop && &Reset", 160, 60, 70, 25)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit

            Case $iButton_1
                _ProgressMarquee_Start($iProgress_1)
                _CheckPingAddress('ddd.dd')
                ;^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

            Case $iButton_2
                _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iProgress_1)

            Case $iButton_3
                _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iProgress_1, 1)

        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

; -------------------------------
Func _CheckPingAddress($sAddress)
    Local $sResult
    ConsoleWrite('>ping ' & $sAddress & '...' & @CRLF)
    $sResult = Ping( $sAddress)
    If $sResult Then
        ConsoleWrite('result: ' & $sResult & 'ms' & @CRLF)
        Return True
    Else
        ConsoleWrite('result: failure' & @CRLF)
        Return False
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>__CheckPingDNSAddress
;--------------------------------


Func _ProgressMarquee_Start($iControlID = -1)
    Local Const $PBM_SETMARQUEE = 1034
    Return GUICtrlSendMsg($iControlID, $PBM_SETMARQUEE, 1, 50)
EndFunc   ;==>_ProgressMarquee_Start

Func _ProgressMarquee_Stop($iControlID = -1, $iReset = 0)
    Local Const $PBS_MARQUEE = 0x0008, $PBM_SETMARQUEE = 1034
    GUICtrlSendMsg($iControlID, $PBM_SETMARQUEE, 0, 50)
    If $iReset = 1 Then
        Return GUICtrlSetStyle($iControlID, $PBS_MARQUEE)
    EndIf
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_ProgressMarquee_Stop

Any suggestions how to display progress bar during the execution of my functions are welcome

I use Windows 7 x64. AutoIt (x86)

Just installed AutoIt v3.3.7.14 (beta)

Doesn't work ...

Progress bar is showing only after function _CheckPingAddress('ddd.dd') has finished...

Weird, because when I select 'Start' the Marquee Progress starts and then your Function executes afterwards. I even added Sleep(6000) at the start of your Function and the Marquee still started.

That example works.

Problem is in ping() in my case.

Any idea?

Change the timeout in Ping as now it's 4 seconds, perhaps 400ms would be better.

I'm seeing the same issue, but the problem isn't with the Progressbar, it's with the way Ping is working. I believe that the problem is caused because Ping is using too much of the CPU or other resources which is basically freezing the script and/or the progress bar updates. I've run into this problem when using FileCopy as well, where the computer can't do both, updating my progress bar and copying a large file or folder, at the same time.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
