Specifics on Windows progress bar question

[JimZ]

For DMcC:
Almost any operation in MS Window that takes any amount of time includes a progress bar. A rectangle that fills with color as the operation progresses. Any user of Windows should be familiar with this. This is what I would like to accomplish in a LabWindows CVI user interface panel. Thanks

You can accomplish this with one of our slider controls, or if you are using CVI 6.0, you can use Microsoft's Progress Bar ActiveX control since CVI 6.0 includes an ActiveX container.

have you loaded the toolbox (toolslib\toobox\toolbox.fp)? Then it's . I thought there was a demo for it, but i can't seem to find it.

This discussion is very old: starting from release 2009 CVI offers a native progress bar control that you can load as an instrument into Instrument menu. You can also drop a progress bar on a panel directly from the UIR editor (search for it into Custom Controls >> Toolslib Controls)

The instrument to load is progressbar.fp and is located in <CVI folder>\toolslib\custctrl. In more recent releases of CVI the instrument has been updated adding auto-update and marquee mode (a portion of the slider continuosly moving across the control, used simply to indicate that an operation is in progress without an estimate of completion).
