How do I make a non-ending progress bar?

Const $PBS_MARQUEE = 0x8

$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(144, 32, 150, 17, BitOR($PBS_MARQUEE,$WS_BORDER))

[Achilles]

Const $PBS_MARQUEE = 0x8

$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(144, 32, 150, 17, BitOR($PBS_MARQUEE,$WS_BORDER))

In more detail:

Const $PBS_MARQUEE = 0x8

GuiCreate('', 700, 100)

$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(50, 10, 600, 80, $PBS_MARQUEE)

GuiSetState() 

AdLibEnable('_Progress', 30);This number sets the speed of the progress

While 1 
    Switch GuiGetMsg() 
        Case -3;Same as $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit 
            
    EndSwitch 
WEnd

Func _Progress() 
    GuiCtrlSetData($Progress1, '')
EndFunc

The helpfiles don't show anythin with 0x8. Care to explain?

Piano_Man's script demonstrates how to do what you want. The progress bar has to have a style called $PBS_MARQEE which is defined as the value 0x8. $PBS_MARQUEE isn't in the help file ASAIK, and neither is it in guiconstants.au3 so you need to either include the line

Const $PBS_MARQUEE = 0x8

as Piano_Man did, or just use the value 0x8 in the style parameter when you create the progress bar.

In case I misunderstood your question, 0x8 means hex value 8. Eg 0x1A is 1A in hex which is 26 in decimal. 0x8 is actually 8 in decimal but it's just a convention that these constants have hexadecimal values. This is partly because it makes it easier in various situations. For example, values are often given which are powers of 2 because they need to be combined. So if $A = 0x100 and $B = 0x10 and $C = 0x1 then it is easy to tell that 0x11 includes $A and $B but not $C.

If your using my example just make that type in the "Adlibenable()' statement longer.
