PBForms Progress Bar control ??

[StanHelton]

Anybody used this before? I know it's cheating, but since I had so much trouble with the Calendar control I thought I would ask BEFORE I got desperate this time.

Specifically: does this control use %WM_COMMAND or %WM_NOTIFY ?

A standard progress bar (class: "msctls_progress32") uses neither, since it has nothing to tell you.. there are no events to report.

It "might" give you some of the 'standard' notifications from the common controls (eg, NM_CLICKED) and if it does (which I doubt) it would use WM_NOTIFY.. and if it does, those notifications are essentially excess baggage, since the progress control does not interact with the user... it's pretty much a label when you think about it.

BUtif I'm wrong (very possible, since I need that vacation I leave on in a week), let me make it up to you in advance with some MACROs which may be of use...

' a couple of progressbar MACROS not available from Win API
MACRO ProgressBar_SetRange    (hCtrl, pMin, pMax)  =  SendMessage hCtrl, %PBM_SETRANGE, 0, MAKLNG(pMin, pMax)
MACRO ProgressBar_SetStep     (Hctrl, iStep)       =  SendMessage hCtrl, %PBM_SETSTEP, iStep, 0
MACRO ProgressBar_SetBarColor (hCtrl, rgbcolor)    =  SendMessage hCtrl, %PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, rgbColor
MACRO ProgressBar_SetBkColor  (hCtrl, rgbColor)    =  SendMessage hCtrl, %PBM_SETBkColor,  0, rgbcolor
MACRO ProgressBar_SetPos      (hCtrl, newPos)      =  SendMessage hCtrl, %PBM_SETPOS, newPos, 0
MACRO ProgressBar_Step        (hCtrl)              =  SendMessage hCtrl, %PBM_STEPIT, 0, 0

Thanks Michael! That goes into my personal .inc file.

Enjoy your vacation!

Chris: Yes, that helped a lot. Thanks to you too!
