Progress Bar 101

[SuperFlyChetGuy]

I see numerous posts regarding a progress bar/status bar and I see the ProgressOn.au3 in the help folder but what I see is a timed progress bar. What I need is a progress bar that will progress depending on the status of the job it is doing, the percent type. I need someone to show me one and to tell me where to put my code for this to work. I have written a simple cleaning utility that I want to put up but I need a progress bar that will work for me.

Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

Or should I go about it this way?

Search the files to be removed, count them, then change the progress bar according to how many have been removed vs how many are left?

If that is the correct manner then how would I go about that?

Progress bars are quite easy to use.

When you create one is has a minimum value of 0 and a max of 100. If you want to change that then use

GUICtrlSetLimit($progressName, $Max,$Min)

Then to have the progress bar at a certain position you just use

GuiCtrlSetData($ProgressName,$Value)

When $value is at the minimum value the bar position will be a the very left, and when $value is at the maximum it will be at the very right.

Very interesting, I will see what I can come up with on this and get back to you. Thanks for the information!

EDIT: Hmm unfortunately I do not know how to use that GuiCtrlSet part.

See this example (it was helping me to implement files copying at the begining) of Progress Bar accourding to number of files to copy:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$Gui = GuiCreate("Progress Demo", 350, 120)

$ProgressLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Status: Press the button! ;)", 20, 30, 330)
$Progress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(20, 50, 300, 20)

$StartButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start Emulation Progress", (350/2)-(140/2), 80, 140)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $StartButton
            GUICtrlSetData($ProgressLabel, "Status: Please wait...")
            
            Dim $FilesArr[1001]
            For $i = 1 To UBound($FilesArr)-1
                $FilesArr[$i] = _GetRandomName(6) & ".test"
            Next
            
            Local $FilesCount = UBound($FilesArr)-1
            Local $CurrentFName, $ProgressSet = 0
            
            GUICtrlSetData($ProgressLabel, "Status: 0% Done...")
            
            For $i = 1 To $FilesCount
                Sleep(1)
                $CurrentFName = $FilesArr[$i]
                $ProgressSet = Round(100 / ($FilesCount / $i))
                GUICtrlSetData($ProgressLabel, "Status: " & $ProgressSet & "% Done, [" & $CurrentFName & "]")
                GUICtrlSetData($Progress, $ProgressSet)
            Next
            
            GUICtrlSetData($ProgressLabel, "Status: Finish!")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _GetRandomName($Lenght=3)
    Local $RetName = ''
    For $i = 1 To $Lenght
        $RetName &= Chr(Random(97, 122, 1))
    Next
    Return $RetName

I see something in your 3rd line that got translated as a wink.gif. What is that supposed to be?

And thank you for the code!
