Way to control two different percentage bars from one GUI.

[tommytx]

Is there anyway to have two individual progress bars controlled by two different sources in the same gui.. as shown in the code below. For example I want to set up say two timers and have each one fire the bars separately at different times... actually what I am doing is reading an external page that is counting down and I am then setting my local count down to match the counting on the page but using a simple autoit timed to make this work would be fine... then its a simple manner of checking the counter on the external webpage and setting my progress bar to match it each second... I just need to know how to make more than one progress bar show at the same time and be controlled by a separate signal. Actually there will be 4 to 6 of these progress bars displaying at the same time.. and they can be separate or on the same page... same page is best... just 4 in a row on one page like below.

Progress Bar 1

Progress Bar 2

progress Bar 3

etc....

If you run my code below you will see that only the second Progress Bar shows and the first one is written over... I suppose. I need up to 4 to show at once and be controlled by separate sources.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
ProgressOn("System 1", "Counter 1", "100 percent")
ProgressOn("System 2", "Counter 2", "100 percent")
for $y = 1 to 9
; ProgressSet( 100, 10)
For $i = 100 to 10 step -10
    ProgressSet( $i, $i/10)
     sleep(1000)
Next
; Sleep(1000)
ProgressSet( 0, 0)
Sleep(1000)
Next
sleep(5000)
ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "Complete")
sleep(500)
ProgressOff()

You need to make your own gui and use GUICtrlCreateProgress()

I just wrote a working example. It's a progress bar clock!

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

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

#Region
$gMain = GUICreate("Progress Bar Clock", 633, 106, 192, 124)
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "gMainClose")
$lHours = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hours:", 8, 8, 35, 17)
$lMinutes = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Minutes:", 8, 32, 44, 17)
$lSeconds = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Seconds:", 9, 56, 49, 17)
$lMillis = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Milliseconds:", 8, 80, 64, 17)
$pHours = GUICtrlCreateProgress(80, 8, 545, 12)
$pMinutes = GUICtrlCreateProgress(80, 32, 545, 12)
$pSeconds = GUICtrlCreateProgress(80, 56, 545, 12)
$pMillis = GUICtrlCreateProgress(80, 80, 545, 12)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion

While 1
    GUICtrlSetData($pHours, (@HOUR / 24) * 100)
    GUICtrlSetData($pMinutes, (@MIN / 60) * 100)
    GUICtrlSetData($pSeconds, (@SEC / 60) * 100)
    GUICtrlSetData($pMillis, (@MSEC / 1000) * 100)

    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func gMainClose()
    Exit
EndFunc

Hope this helps!

[tommytx]

thank you fett... that is exactly what I needed... I can easily modify that to work..

Thanks also Admiral... but with my weak knowledge.. telling me to make myself a GUI would not work for me as I only speak negative GUI.. that means I know less than nothing...

That clock is actually really cool. Haha

Definitely a geek's clock for sure. It's a great demo.
