Re: Independent Progress Bar
Well some may have missed it, but I was saying that I created a standalone, and all it does is display a window that has no title bar, with a message and a spinning gif. I use it when I am opening an app that uses SQL to give the user something to look at while the connection is made and everything is set up. Someone who is adventurous and good at setting up communication between two Livecode apps could easily find a way to change the message and set the location you want it to show up in, among other things, making it a cheap but effective little Wait... dialog. I launch it by putting together a simple Applescript command in my startup stack that tells the :Spinner application to activate. When I am done with it, I tell the app to quit. It's actually kind of nice, except that of course, it's an app, and they can be quit or hidden. Since the typical time I need to wait is only a few seconds, it's not a problem.

Re: Independent Progress Bar
So anyway, this is fairly simple to implement, I have it working, but I still have to use an Applescript command to tell it to launch. All other interactions can be done using send to program and trapping the apple event using on appleEvent. By setting the systemWindow of the stack to true before compiling it, the app window will float above everything else. It's a very elegant solution to a sticky problem. Maybe someone at Runrev will ask me to write up an article about it! I wonder now if I can get rid of the one Application menu. I don't guess so, but I thought I would ask.

RE: Independent Progress Bar
If you mean an indeterminate progress indicator then yes, use an animated gif with the judicious use of repeatCount (-1 to start and 0 to stop). If you want a modal progress bar that works independently (as in non-blocking) then open the modal invisible first and increment your own bar as required. Both will 'stall' if LC is performing a blocking and time-consuming operation unless it is returning a trappable value (such as a 'bites downloaded' callback) that you can use. Hugh Senior FLCo Original message: Hi all. I know this has been discussed in length in the past, but I cannot remember what the conclusion was. Does anyone have/know about an independent progress bar/wheel that can be used with Livecode, that will function independently even when Livecode is running a script? I know I could kludge it myself if I had control over the scripts I am running, but I do not. One script is Trevor's sqlYoga which is locked, and also I am opening an SQL database remotely, and it takes a few seconds sometimes to have that return control. What is needed is an addon dialog created in some version of C that we can call on to display a progress bar/spinner, but I am not sure if anyone has made such a thing. Seems like a really good addition to Livecode, but I don't think we are going to see something like that soon.
