I use this:
rec.topLeft.x = 5;
rec.topLeft.y = 25;
rec.extent.y = 8;
rec.extent.x = 120;
WinDrawRectangleFrame(simpleFrame,&rec);
rec.extent.x = (value) * 120) / maxValue;
WinFillRectangle (&rec,0);
You can use WinDrawRectangle instead of WinFillRectangle, but using
the Fill function you can use a pattern.
I like this pattern
{0xE1,0xC3,0x87,0x0F,0x1E,0x3C,0x78,0xF0}
that draws diagonal lines and each time you update the Bar you can use
this function to animate the bar:
static void BarAnimate ()
{
CustomPatternType pattern;
int i;
UInt8 pat;
WinGetPattern(&pattern);
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
pat = (pattern[i] & 0x07) << 5;
pattern[i] = (pattern[i] >> 3) | pat;
}
WinSetPattern(&pattern);
}
Sebastian
