Progressbar halts my program

[CygnusX1]

Hello, 

Hopefully I'm overlooking something simple. I want to have a progressbar run while the other parts of my program runs. 

Start()

Func Start()
    Run(exe)
    WinWait(title)
    WinMove(title, "", 0, 0, 800, 910)
    $hWnd = WinGetHandle(title)
    WinActivate($hWnd)
    Initialize()
    Progress() ;this run but the next functions don't until Progress is finished.
    Export3DS()
    ExportDAE()
    ExportFBX()
    NewToolbar()
    MainMenus()
    Materials()
EndFunc   ;==>Start

Func Progress()
    ProgressOn("Detecting English Words", "Detecting...", "", 850, 25, 18)
    For $i = 1 to 55 step 1
        Sleep(1000)
        ProgressSet($i, $i & "%")
    Next
EndFunc

How does one get a progressbar to show and keep the program running?

Thank you.

Use an AdLibRegister() func to call the set progress bar logic each second.

Just a suggestion; unless you know have a good indicator on the progress of your tasks and how to map it to a percentage, it's just as useful to display a "busy/working" indicator.  This example would allow you to create a custom GUI with a MARQUEE progress bar that can sit there and animate while your BG tasks run.

Hey, 

Thanks for your responses. I couldn't get the  AdLibRegister() to work correctly so I'm going for the Marquee. Works great!

Thank you.
