Description

A typical usage might be to show the progress being made through a batch process of record updates.

You set the range of the progress with piMinimum and piMaximum. The actual position within the range is governed by the piPosition property, which you can set manually, or automatically by sending either the DoAdvance or DoAdvanceBy methods.

The position is indicated with a bar that is drawn to reflect the percentage of completion. The bar can be drawn vertically or horizontally, using the pbVertical property, and it can be drawn segmented or smooth by using the pbSmooth property.

The color of the bar is controlled by the piBarColor property and the color of the background with the piBackColor property.

Sample

Object oProgressBar is a cProgressBar
    Set Size To 14 60

    Set piMinimum To 0
    Set piMaximum To 100
End_Object

Object oProgressButton is a Button
    Procedure OnClick
         // increment piPosition by piAdvanceBy
        Send DoAdvance of oProgressBar
    End_Procedure
End_Object

Object oProgressByButton is a Button
    Procedure OnClick
         // increment piPosition by 5
