Progress bar for parsing file

[Arfur9]

I have a GUI based app which can parse an XML file and lists any cameras in the XML, the problem I have is these XML files can be huge, so while this file is being read the gui appears to hang

Here's a pick of the WIP beasty

If the loaded scene is an XML you would click cam and the cameras are added in the list box.

Most of the progress bars seem to be based on elapsed time which isn't much good, a 100meg XML takes around a minute on my 2 core machine

If anyone wants to see the code they can but its not much use if you don't have the render software its designed for

If someone can point me in the right direction it would be great.

To be honest its only there to cut down the chances of the user doing typos and the batch script failing

thanks in advance

Arfur9,

Something like this is a very simple way to show progress

 global $lbl020 = guictrlcreatelabel("",100,5,400,20)
        guictrlcreatelabel("Processing",10,5,90,20)
     guisetstate()
     _Timer_SetTimer($gui020, 1000, "_UpdateProgress")
 local $msg, $cnt=0
 while 1

 #forceref $hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime
 GUICtrlSetData($lbl020,guictrlread($lbl020) & '.')
EndFunc
