Any ideas on how to make a progress wheel

[DirtDBaK]

Ok heres what i want to do

make a progress wheel udf for autoIT...

Somthing Like...

GuiCtrlCreateProgressWheel( $Width, $height, $x, $y ) ;Create a still progresss wheel
ProgressWheelRun( $ID ) ;makes it run a gif at a constant rate
ProgressWheelStop( $ID ) ;stops the animated gif with a still image
ProgressWheelSet( $ID, $Percent ) ;Percent is 1-8 for example and if 3 is on then the 3rd line is the line that is bold or colored or w/e in the progress wheel....

I don't know how easy this would be or the easist way to go about creating it... would love some feed back...

Tried seraching but no worthy results for me....

Thanks!

You can draw circles and pies with GUICtrlCreateGraphic/GUICtrlSetGraphic.

I am not sure about such udf, but if i understand correct, you only need an animated progress, so maybe this will help:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

InetGet("http://creator-lab.ucoz.ru/Images/Progress_Anim.avi", @TempDir & "\Progress_Anim.avi")

$Gui = GuiCreate("Test")
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

GUICtrlCreateAvi(@TempDir & "\Progress_Anim.avi", -1, 140, 140, 70, 70)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1)
FileDelete(@TempDir & "\Progress_Anim.avi")

GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case Else
            
    EndSwitch
WEnd

And if you need to change the progress, i guess you can make a function to stop/run the avi file every time you need to set the progress.

Here is example with start/stop handler:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

InetGet("http://creator-lab.ucoz.ru/Images/Progress_Anim.avi", @TempDir & "\Progress_Anim.avi")

$Gui = GuiCreate("Test")
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

$AviCtrl = GUICtrlCreateAvi(@TempDir & "\Progress_Anim.avi", -1, 140, 140, 70, 70)
FileDelete(@TempDir & "\Progress_Anim.avi")

$Set_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 20, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $Set_Button
            If GUICtrlRead($Set_Button) = "Start" Then
                GUICtrlSetData($Set_Button, "Stop")
                GUICtrlSetState($AviCtrl, $GUI_AVISTART)
            Else
                GUICtrlSetData($Set_Button, "Start")
                GUICtrlSetState($AviCtrl, $GUI_AVISTOP)
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd
