I was trying to use the ProgressIndicator widget. I cannot find any docs on this, what is it's range? I couldn't set range it in the code. Is it 0-1, 0-100? Is it placeable in both horizontal or vertical? What other parameters are avaialable besides value? I can't find any info on these. Am I just loking in the wrong place? I even looked through the source code and didn't find anything that would help me. Also the page http://upp.sourceforge.net/src$CtrlLib$index$en-us.html at the bottom states "Others can be inserted as "User class"". Can more widgets be added to the ID menu? As I look around the forum,I see that many are saying to not use the IDE, which I am not really sure why.
I also didn't see anywhere how to create a new widget. I try to look around and read as much as I can before I post. I hope I didn't miss all of this somewhere.

If anybody answers, thanks.
RJ

Documentation is shortcoming of U++. Not everything is documented so far.

With ProgressIndicator, there are two values

- "total" is the total number of steps required to perform the operation.
- "actual" indicates actual progress, actual number of steps performed so far.

"total" can be 0, in that case ProgressIndicator displays just "running" bar, used when total number of steps is unknown.

Yes, more widgets can be added to the menu - see reference/UscCtrl.

ProgressIndicator myprogress;

myprogress.Set(value, total);

I've created an example for you here:

Did you mean IDE designer menu? - Then, I think, yes. Work in progress...

Where have you seen that?

Use inheritance and/or composition. All Ultimate++ sources (files) are examples.

All posts are answered within minutes or hours Smile

(special thanks to Myrek)

P.S. Please post one topic at once and create smart names to make it useful for "future generations" and less work for me renaming them and moving Smile

Thanks for the quick reply. I have posted to formums before only to be ignored. I am doing an Audio application and was needing a meter for levels, hence the ProgressIndicator and the horizontal and vertical question. i guess the widget may not work for this.

The not use the ide was from "In addition to what Graeme said, to have window with richedit and menu, it is usually better to actually avoid using layout and use MenuBar as frame." http://www.arilect.com/upp/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=49

I have visited this site twice and downloaded the examples twice. It too me a while to figure out the IDE, there are no pictures of it in the screenshot pages so I thought there wasn't one. The last time I visited it, I checked it out deeper and went through the tutorial, and I finally figured out how the get the IDE view, that's when I ran into the above posting. I thought it was the pervailing feeling, but after I used it all, i understood it. Nice code BTW.

Sorry about all the questions, I am new to all of this forum stuff but have been reading them for years.

Thanks
RJ

P.S.: ProgressIndicator can be both horizontal or vertical - in fact, it is decided based on its size (width>height?horizontal:vertical)

What reason do you suspect? Why do you think so?

Please use exact words and context Smile

"avoid using Layout [Designer]" - was meant "It's better to program the widget manually"
Layout Designer ia one of the many parts of theIDE (Integrated Development Environment).

Which site? There are 2 sites: Main project site - http://www.upp.sourceforge.net
And forums - http://www.arilect.com/upp/forum
Which examples?

Thanks for mentioning it.
Myrek, could you please add some screenshots to sourceforge Project summary page? And/Or a separate menu "Screenshots" on "home page"?

what was difficult and/or confusing?
