Progress Bar for BaanIV

[techfan]

Originally posted by robertvg
I used init.gui() as NPrao suggested, the errors (on B4c4) are now gone, a separate window opens, but no progress indicator appears. Hourglass shows forever.

Try using the following code:

#pragma	used	dll	ottdllinstall
function main()
{
init.gui()
create.progress.indicator("Testing",<b>3</b> )
<b>for i = 10 to 100 step 10</b>
update.progress.indicator(<b>i</b>, "In process...")
suspend(500)
<b>endfor</b>
destroy.progress.indicator( )
<b>destroy.objects()</b>
}

You should see a moving indicator now.

Seems ok, but if I try to incorporate the code in my script (a simple printout) - if I call the destroy.objects() functions I receive a BW error (maybe because tries to kill the main window also?) - if I don't put this instruction the progress bar window last till exiting the session.
But, anyway, it works!

PS.:
I've used also a parameter in init.gui() to change the title from the "import data dictionary" used as default...

init.gui("Work in progress")

[robertvg]

I have the same errors with 'destroy.objects' : object xxx in process yyy not found. I also noticed that the message parameter in the update.progress.indicator(percentage, message) does not show anywhere on the form.

Are there anymore parameters for the init.gui() call ?
Maybe to resize the window a bit smaller ?

regards,
Robert

you can program an exit() instead of destroy.objects to neatly close the progress bar window and the main window

Hi all,

i am very happy to know this tool in Baan 4c3 as tht can be very useful for baan Customizations.

Well i am developing two sessions which are following
1. A print session
2. A maintain session

-----------------------------------------------------
In case 1.
----------------------------------------------------
i want to show my progress bar on the base of my records processes to the report and when process gets completed i want to end up my progress bar so that user should be able to know how long will report take time to print

say i have a table of customer from where i am fatching record to print it on report. in tht case i want to link my customer id with progress bar as soon as my customer id processes progress bar should get updated.

------------------------------------------------------
In case 2
------------------------------------------------------
In maintain session when i update record i want to incorporate this same feature at the time of updateing table
say when i insert some new data into table and press continue button to update my progress bar should display the status of updation and as i want tht two button should also display on progress bar window 1.stop 2.cancel
when i press cancel button Transaction should be rollback
and logically then database table should not be updated
and if database gets updated then my progress bar should end up


well for second case i will have to use
#include <bic_dam>
but i don't find it anyware in my $bse/include6.1/
plz. help me about this also

To get the progress indicator window to exit, I modified the posted code below

#pragma	used	dll	ottdllinstall
function main()
{
id.orig = current.mwindow()  |get current window id
init.gui("Title of window")
create.progress.indicator("Testing",3 )
for i = 10 to 100 step 10
update.progress.indicator(i, "In process...")
suspend(500)
endfor
id.new = current.mwindow()   |get progess indicator window id
change.mwindow(id.orig)        |set current window to orig window
destroy.mwindow(id.new)       |remove progress indicator window
}

works in IVc4
