Pathologic Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I want to create a much larger status bar that tracks the progress of a very small status bar in an application so that I can see it from far away. I cannot for the life of me work out why this isn't working, I must be missing something obvious. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <ProgressConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Math.au3> $pix = 0 $pixel = 0 $progress = 100 $state = "" GUICreate("bar", 300, 30, 810, 715,$WS_POPUP+$WS_DISABLED+$GUI_NOFOCUS,$WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE) Local $idProgressbar1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(0, 0, 300, 30) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 32250) While 1 $pixel = PixelSearch(1724,601,1607,602,0xFFFFFF,0,1) if not @error then $pix = $pixel[0] - 1607 $progress = Round(($pix/117)*100-1,0) $state = "" Else $state = "ERROR" EndIf GUICtrlSetData($idProgressbar1, $progress) Tooltip($state & $pixel[0] & " - " & $pix & " - " & $progress,1920,500) Sleep(100) WEnd Basically, there is a white progress bar stretching from ~1607,600 to ~1724,605. I am trying to pixelsearch for the right-most pixel in the range specified that remains white, work out what percentage of the bar remains, and translate that into a new progress bar. If I comment out the pixelsearch stuff and set the $progress variable with a straight counter ($pixel = $pixel+1 or -1), the progress bar moves just fine, meaning the while loop is looping and the progress bar functions fine. If I start the script with the tooltip in place it shows correct initial numbers (the first pixel found is at 1724, the bar is 117 pixels long which is 100% of the bar). However, then nothing happens. The tooltip never updates again, it doesn't show me that it errored, it doesn't do anything at all. Am I missing something obvious? I really hope so :s Even if the pixelsearch is wrong somehow, why is it not progressing to the @error tooltip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2017 @Pathologic sounds like a great Rube Goldberg script you got going there. If you already have a status bar and it is simply too small to see, have you looked into magnifying a portion of your screen? As you can see, it has been discussed a lot: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aautoitscript.com+magnify&oq=site%3Aautoitscript.com+magnify&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.9695j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Maybe I'm wrong though, Ill look into it. Thanks. On 6/19/2017 at 10:26 PM, water said: There is an UDF available for a custom progress bar. I'll give it a go, thanks.
