AutoIt, "X" time progress bar on button?

[fisheronline]

Just got auto it, I have a form and I want to add a progress bar which fills up to 100% when a button is pressed, how do I make it so when a button is used the progress bar fills in an "X" amount of time?

You are kidding right?

[fisheronline]

why would I be kidding, all I want to know is how to implement my progress bar to take an X amount of time to fill when a button is pressed

You would be kidding to remove the keygen word from your topic's title.

So you feel it is reasonable to bump a post after 19 minutes?

Maybe you need to start reading our Forumrules and show a little effort first.

or maybe someone could point me in the right direction rather than replying and criticizing someone looking for a tip

Look in help file at GUICtrlCreateProgress()

It has example.

I have literally just got this programme, I have no idea what to type, the example is alone is longer than my whole script. :S

ok that is my code, it has just basic radio buttons as options and a button, I wanted to know how to make it so when the button is pressed the progress bar I have will take an X amount of time to fill and then once done pop up with a message of my choice.

this is my first code and I made it using Koda so if you tell me the script I need to add into it please show me where

fisheronline,

I would do it like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>

$form2 = GUICreate("form2", 621, 251, 204, 205)
$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("option 1", 20, 150, 113, 17)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("option 2", 160, 150, 113, 17)
$Radio3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("option 3", 20, 180, 113, 17)
$Radio4 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("option 4", 160, 180, 113, 17)
$Radio5 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("option 5", 20, 210, 113, 17)
$Radio6 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("option 6", 160, 210, 113, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Generate", 360, 144, 187, 57)
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(360, 210, 187, 17, BitOR($PBS_SMOOTH,$WS_BORDER))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            ; Start a loop
            For $i = 1 To 100
                ; Increase the progress bar
                GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, $i + 1) ; I find this gives a better response
                GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, $i)
                ; Wait a bit
                Sleep(100)
            Next
            ; Show the MsgBox
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Hi", "Generated whatever it is!")
            ; Reset the progress bar
            GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, 0)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

All clear?

[fisheronline]

ok so I just go into edit script and replace it with all of that and then add labels?

[Melba23]

fisheronline,

I would suggest that you make sure you undrstand what is going on in the script I posted before just pasting it into your own version or you will be back here in no time saying it does not work.

For example, you will need to add code to do whatever it is happens when the "Generate" button is pressed, determine how long you want the progress bar to take to fill, and to read the option radios (otherwise why are they there?).

If this is your first script, just take it slowly and make sure you know why you are using certain code elements rather then just pasting chunks of other people's code into yours and expecting it to integrate without problem.
