How can I create an indicator of the progress of a script’s execution on screen?
Solution:
To do so, you can create an Internal Tag and increment it on the script. Then, add a Rectangle to the screen and create an analog link with the Internal Tag in HorizontalPercentFill property, whose value on the source must be from 0 to the counting’s maximum limit, and the value on the property must be from 0 to 100.
Example:
Set cont = Application.Item(“ContViewer”)
For i=0 to 1000
cont.Value = i
Frame.Refresh True
Next
Note: The Refresh method allows forcing a redrawn of a Screen’s or Splitter’s content. It must be used in Viewer scripts with massive processing (loops, for example) or in method calls demanding a long time and also demanding a visual indication for the progress of a process to users.
