[Solved] Loop while ping

[hcI]

Hello everyone !

While writing a sample of code to test ping to my internet box, I got stuck..

While the code is Pinging with let say.. 5000ms of timeout, I need to update a progress bar from 0 to 5000 ms at the same time but I don't know how could I do this..

Is there a way or something that could get around the pause of the ping like in InetGet -> InetGetInfo?

@hcI have you looked in the help file? ProgressSet perhaps?

I see what you mean, while its pinging there's nothing you can do... you could use a marquee right before you call the ping, and end it afterwards. This is the marquee udf you can find in the forum. Paste in a new au3 and run:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
Local $GMarquee, $Progress_1, $LabelP

$GMarquee = GUICreate("Working", 240, 70, -1, @DesktopHeight / 4)
$Progress_1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(10, 10, 220, 20, 0x0008)
$LabelP = GUICtrlCreateLabel('Working...', 10, 40, 100)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
_ProgressMarquee_Start($Progress_1) ;Start
MsgBox(64, '', '')
_ProgressMarquee_Stop($Progress_1) ;Stop
GUIDelete($GMarquee)

I know this function but it don't help me in this case because the Ping function pause the whole script while the ping is sent.. So I can't refresh the progress bar during this time, even with ProgressSet.
