GDI+ animated loading screens build 2014-06-20 (32 examples)

[Rowlett]

i assume you wouldn't put your action (i.e. shellexecute/shellexecutewait within each case though would you because it would just keep repeating the process? (sorry for the dumb newbie questions!) and to progress or control the tooltip just call $fPerc += 0.15? i don't know how "smooth" the increments would be, would kind of spoil your hard work :-(

[UEZ]

The examples are examples. That means real "life" wouldn't probably so smooth. What you can do is to count all your steps and increase the steps so that the percentage will fit to your needs.

E.g. you have 22 steps -> 1/22, 2/22, 3/22, etc.

On some web pages the progress bar fill up the spaces between the progress much more smoothly. e.g. from 10% to 20%. I need to make some thoughts how to implement it into the functions.

Br,

thanks for the reply and help UEZ much appreciated!

Hi UEZ and thanks for your work.

In the past I never used progres on my project but now it's time to use one.

My application has lot of data to load before showing $mainwindow.

So i decided to use

expandcollapse popup

[...]
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=images\RES\Y.jpg, rt_rcdata, Y

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=images\RES\Z.jpg, rt_rcdata, Z

#endregion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

SplashImageOn("Gear",@ScriptDir & "\images\gear.gif",83,75,-1,-1)
 
[all vars, array, const declarations]
[all includes]
_loadsettings()

_loadexternalsettings()

_loadsettings_restart()

_Loaddetails(GUICtrlRead($webdetails))

_startToolTip()

 _GuiPositioning() ; this enable and shows all GUIS

AdlibRegister("_sessioning", 300000) ; 5 mins

AdlibRegister("_ontop", 2000) ; 2 sec

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "_WM_COMMAND")

SplashOff()
 
while 1
    _ctrl_keys_activities()

    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

    Switch $nMsg

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

            _kill()

        Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE

            _to_tray()
[and all cases]
 

Can I use your solution (and how in that case) in substitution of the splashimage() ...splashoff() ?

Mainly I want to have a nice loading screen while all "underground" activities run, then finishing loading and showing program windows.

Thanks a lot,

Marco

YOU ARE THE MAN!

Works like a charm.

So I'll ask you a more difficult thing: what if I would like to use a loading % (or a progress bar)?

How can I set from 0% to 100% where 0% is the beginning and 100% is when $mainwindow is released? If possinble using _GDIPlus_StripProgressBar Example1.au3, without background.

Thanks again,

Marco

GearsAnim and all others have the possibility to provide some text during animation rendering. That means you can add the percentage of your progress easily to the text.

Define a global progress variable and update it. Within PlayAnim function you can use this process variable to display it appropriately. Should be very easy.

 

Regarding the background image: it is just an example and it can be changed very easily.

Understood, I'll work it out.

Thanks again for the great product.

I'm using the 28042014 version of _GDIPlus_Carousel. I know this is a newbie question but I would like to let the animation stop as soon as 2 instances of the same process exist. So eg 2 times calc.exe. I think I can do this with ProcessWait. But where do I put it? My gut feeling says somewhere near:

 

Do
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIRegisterMsg($WM_TIMER, "")
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hHBmp_BG)
            _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
            GUIDelete()
            Exit
    EndSwitch
Until False

Can't figure it out though...

This will check for Notepad.exe processes. If the amount of processes is more than 5 the animation will be closed.

@UEZ: works perfectly, thanks!

[Jdr]

One more little thing, or actually 2  I'm using this as a loading screen that covers the desktop during logon. So I need it larger. However if I just change $iW and $iH to 1920 and 1080 the animation scales too. And consumes to many resources. So I changed the "canvas"  to 1920 and 1080 and kept the animation at 600 and 300. However I'd also like to change the color of the canvas to a different color than the standard MsgBox light gray. For example white or blue. Couldn't get that to work. A second request would be not to use a fixed resolution of 1920 x 1080 but full screen.

Jdr,

@DesktopHeight @DesktopWidth should do 2nd trick for you

Great, works, thanks!

[Jdr]

I am trying with this code to set the canvas to a different color, eg white:

_GDIPlus_Startup()
Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172; $IMAGE_BITMAP = 0
Global $COLOR_WHITE
Global $iW = @DesktopWidth, $iH = @DesktopHeight
Global Const $hGUI = GUICreate("Carousel", $iW, $iH, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
Global Const $iPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 400, 350, $iW, $iH)
;Global Const $iPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 400, 250, $iW, $iH)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetBkColor($COLOR_WHITE)
GUISetState()

However GUISetBkColor doesn't seem to work very well, despite color white, it actually gives a black  canvas. In fact whatever color I put in, it always gives a black canvas.

[UEZ]

 

Global $COLOR_WHITE = 0xFFFFFFF ;you must set the value otherwise $COLOR_WHITE is 0 and thus black
Global Const $hGUI = GUICreate("Carousel", $iW, $iH, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetBkColor($COLOR_WHITE)

should work to set GUI background white.

@UEZ, I missed that  works now, thx

thank like it very much ..

Thank you very nice loading screens. But unfortunately I cannot figure out how to use them. I would like several loading screens in one script for different functions: search, copy. I have a window with several buttons, but I don't know how to make your loading screens work with them. If I understand correctly, your loading screens can be connected using #include-once and then used. But what is the right way to do it? Can you see my example and show you how to enable your loading screens?
