Progressbars in autoit

[BeastLoL]

Hi everyone!

 

I have a question. For the applications I make using autoit, I want to make a updater. I have a functioning script to do the autoupdating.

 

My question is if I could incorporate a ProgressBar that tracks the download % of the INetGet command.

 

Any tips?

I think this should be possible.
Let INetGet run the download in the background. Then use INetGetInfo to retrieve the size of the file to download. Then run a loop until the file has been downloaded (by using INetGetInfo to retrieve the status). If still downloading get the bytes read so far and display the progressbar.

Just to add to this, the Example script for InetGetInfo in the help file does almost exactly what water is suggesting above, in case you would like to see it.

There are several posts around the forum on how to do this. IF all else fails, look at the AutoIt updater?  

There is even an example with a self-delete option...
