Windows 10 progress bar api

[Auge_Ohr]

hi,

I could nod download the attached DXE_PBAR.ZIP, it say no longer available

have you try download/file.php?id=2320 include /phpbb3 ?

hi,

However, I already have something like that.

My question is about windows 10 progressbar that showns graph of the speed of the process. You see this when copying a big directory to another.

this API i do´nt have a Idea what it is


have ask Copilot and he say : it come from Windows Shell API, specifically the IProgressDialog interface.

If you're looking to implement similar functionality in your own applications, you might explore libraries like Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack or use the Windows SDK for more advanced customization.

Thanks for your response. That's the control I am talking about. I am not good at winapi

hi,

since 5 Years i do not use Xbase++ any more, i use Fivewin/harbour instead

this CODE is working under Fivewin/harbour, but NOT under Xbase++

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

FUNCTION Main()

   Test()

RETURN NIL

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <windows.h>
#include <shlobj.h>
#include <hbapi.h>

void test( void )
{
    CoInitialize(NULL);

    IProgressDialog* pProgress;
    HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ProgressDialog, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IProgressDialog, (void**)&pProgress);

    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        pProgress->SetTitle(L"Copying file...");
        pProgress->StartProgressDialog(NULL, NULL, PROGDLG_NORMAL, NULL);

        for (ULONG i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
        {
            pProgress->SetProgress(i, 100);
            Sleep(50);
        }

        pProgress->StopProgressDialog();
        pProgress->Release();
    }

    CoUninitialize();
}

HB_FUNC( TEST )
{
   test();
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

this CODE is working under Fivewin/harbour, but NOT under Xbase++

So it is useless.

Hi,

IProgressDialog shell interface can be created in Xbase++ with Xbase++ CAPI interface. The same code as in Jimmy's Harbour example, can be used. The code can be upgraded with SetAnimation and SetLine methods.

Hi Slavkodam and Jimmy.

Thanks for your response and valuable contributions. You people are great.

Happy to hear that it is doable.

Slavkodam we will greatly appreciate it if you could provide us a sample solution. And more importantly how to use xbase++ capi. I couldn't find the documentation for Alaska capi anywhere.

Thanks

Joe

Joe,

I don't have a sample solution in Xbase++. As I said, it would be like the Jimmy's code in his test() function.
In Xbase++ 2.0, CAPI documentation is in the file xpp-dev.chm, topic Specific APIs->The Xbase++ C-API.
In Xbase++ 1.9, CAPI documentation is in the file xppcapi.hlp.

Joe, there is no sample solution. Using the C-API for stuff like that is a little complicated. You need to know how to program in C+/++. You need to install a C-compiler, create the code (where ChatGPT may help you with) and use it with "EXTERN" in your application. You need to integrate the control in your eXpress++-code, which is not simple.

Edit:

I couldn't find the documentation for Alaska capi anywhere.

Open the (complete) docs, search for "C-API". Start at the overview.

Thanks to you all. I appreciate all your contributions.
