Hello,

Thirst of all thanks for this progress-bar, it’s very handy to use

I have a small change proposal, so the update in progress(bar) is always rounded up to a one decimal integer. In this way the progress(bar) can’t breakdown when an multidecimal integer update value is used.

Change the line:
m_PercentComplete = percentComplete

To:
m_PercentComplete = Round(percentComplete, 0)

Cheers,
Peronnik Beijer

Sounds like a good improvement Jeff C. I’ll have to think about it and post an updated version of this progress bar using your method or something similar.

I liked your idea very much and it was just what I was looking for. But after I slept on it, I came up with what I think is an improvement.

I replaced the text field with a table with one row and two fields. I set the left one with a bgcolor of blue and a width of 0. I set the right one with a bgcolor of white and a width of 300 px. I then changed the loop to find the id of the left and set the width to the step value times 3, and the width of the right to the 300 minus 3 times the step value. This way you get a pretty blue graphic bar filling from left to right. If using the depricated width and bgcolor is a hangup for you, I’m sure it could also be done with styles.

I impressed myself, at least.

[...] was informed after my last post that using HTA (HTML Applications) to display a progress bar in VBScript is much more efficient [...]

I was told today that using HTA with VBScript is a much more efficient way for a progress bar. I’ll be looking into it over the weekend, though at first glance it may require a second file.
