GUI question - status indication

[erezlevi]

hi,

how can I create a GUI that will show the customer a msgbox that says "Processing please wait..." and a banner that move from right to left until the computer ends the process. if I create a regular msgbox it does not continue to process.

please help.

How about using SplashTextOn()? It'll give you a positionable window and you can use whatever processing message you'd like.

yes, I just read about it, but will it continue the other processing in the background???

ok got the solution myself:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI Progressbar",220,100, 100,200)
$progressbar1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress (10,10,200,20)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1,32250); not working with Windows XP Style
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start",75,70,70,20)
GUISetState ()

    $wait = 100
    $i=0
    
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg ()
    if $msg = $button  Then
    for $i=0 to 100
    $m = GUIGetMsg ()   
    if $m = -3 then ExitLoop

        GUICtrlSetData ($progressbar1,$i)
        Sleep($wait)
    ;; do all the things you want here.
      Next
    EndIf
  
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Thanks, anyway.

Hi,

Have you tried this piece of code for copying a file from one location to another? does it work?

One of the more variants

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Dim $wait = 100

GUICreate("My GUI Progressbar",220, 100, 100, 200)

$progressbar1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress (10,10,200,20)
DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($progressbar1), "wstr", "", "wstr", "")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1,32250); working with Windows XP Style if set classic style with WinAPI :)

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start",75,70,70,20)

GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg ()
    Switch $msg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case $button
        ShowProgress()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func ShowProgress()
    Local $i
    For $i = 1 to 100
        If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
        GUICtrlSetData($progressbar1, $i)
        Sleep($wait)
    Next
    Sleep(500)
    GUICtrlSetData($progressbar1, 0)
EndFunc
