Update progress bar value in active GUI

[ddxfish]

I have a GUI designed with a status message, and a progress bar. I want to make a function that changes the progress bar value on this active GUI window (ProgressOn is not a versatile enough solution).

Here are the 2 functions I have so far, the first opens the GUI and the second is supposed to change the progress bar value by inputting the new percent, but does not work. I was hoping to call my function setStatusGui(50) to set the percent to 50.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: updated code to run as I see it

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

Global $currentStatus = "Not started yet"
Global $currentStatusHeader = "Long Script - Paused"
Global $currentProgress = 0

Func openStatusGUI()
    #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
    Global $simpleForm = GUICreate("Script Status", 504, 247, 192, 124)
    Global $simpleTitle = GUICtrlCreateLabel($currentStatusHeader, 11, 8, 481, 49, $SS_CENTER)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
    Global $simpleStatusmsg = GUICtrlCreateLabel($currentStatus, 23, 88, 456, 49, $SS_CENTER)
    Global $simpleProgress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(24, 184, 454, 49, $WS_BORDER)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
    While 1
        $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>openStatusGUI

Func setStatusGui($newprogress)
    GUICtrlSetData($simpleProgress, $newprogress)
EndFunc   ;==>setStatusGui


;Execution
openStatusGUI()
Sleep(1000)
setStatusGui(66)

Welcome, please post a script that can run and shows what you are trying to do as the setStatusGui() will nicely update the progressbar.

I edited the original code, sorry about that. I see the GUI load, and expect for the progress bar to change to 66% after a 1000 msec sleep, but it stays at 0.

Updated your code to be in a codebox for easier reading.

Your Gui is locked into your Message loop so never reaches the setStatusGui() line.

Jos, Thanks so much for the help. I made a bonehead mistake there. Here is the working code.

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

Global $currentGuiStatus = 0
Global $currentStatus = "Not started yet"
Global $currentStatusHeader = "Long Script - Paused"
Global $currentProgress = 0

Func openStatusGUI()
    $currentGuiStatus = 1
    #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
    Global $simpleForm = GUICreate("Script Status", 504, 247, 192, 124)
    Global $simpleTitle = GUICtrlCreateLabel($currentStatusHeader, 11, 8, 481, 49, $SS_CENTER)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
    Global $simpleStatusmsg = GUICtrlCreateLabel($currentStatus, 23, 88, 456, 49, $SS_CENTER)
    Global $simpleProgress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(24, 184, 454, 49, $WS_BORDER)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNORMAL)
    #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

EndFunc   ;==>openStatusGUI

Func setStatusGui($newprogress)
    GUICtrlSetData($simpleProgress, $newprogress)
EndFunc   ;==>setStatusGui


;Execution
openStatusGUI()
Sleep(1000)
setStatusGui(66)
Sleep(1000)

You will have to create some sort of loop to keep the program active, but that isn't an issue really.

Just use the GUIOnEventMode mode to trigger any actions from the GUIControls and use an AdlibRegister() to activate another function at a defined interval.
