I have a few questions:
1). "When you buy the new release" suggests you will be offering this control for sale. Is that correct ? If so, what is the pricing and availability ?
2). Could you provide an example of implementing the progress wheel in an application ?
3). Does this have any performance issues ( speed degradation for the process it is measuring ) ? Though slight, the progress bar, if not set to sample at a proper interval, can reduce the speed of operation.
Massimo, you also presented a control, but it would not be usable by those of us who use Visual Studio / Harbour since it is clearly for Borland development tools. Thank you, however, for sharing there is an option.
Antonio: Will you be including any progress wheel with the FWH libraries ? It might not be as grand as these, but Windows does tend to use the wheels now rather than bars.
Thanks to all for your continuing contributions.
1. The price is what Antonio does for the new version of the new fwh package, I don't think he'll decide to sell the class separately
2.I have created 3 examples I think are enough to make people understand how it works
sample :
- Code: Select all Expand view RUN
@ 5,10 WHEELMETER oProgress OF oDlg ;
INNERCOLOR CLR_WHITE ;
ANIMACOLOR CLR_HRED ;
BACKCOLOR CLR_BLUE ;
PIXEL ;
TEXT NORMAL_TEXT ;
TEXTCOLOR CLR_GREEN
does it work like the TProgress class, do you have never used this class to index archives?
- Code: Select all Expand view RUN
oProgress:setrange(0,500)
oProgress:npos
....
INDEX ON FIRST TAG FIRST EVAL (oProgress:SetPos(nProgress++), Sysrefresh()) EVERY 1 FOR ! deleted()
3.There are no performance problems I tried on a dialog with 13 meters 4.Massimo published a class in delphi he tried to put me in a bad light. He usually does that against me. I'll never understand why. and I haven't seen his work yet, but only criticisms against me. Antonio is patient and has stopped him several times
I copied the dialog of that Delphi class
I tried to do it again in harbor and with our class TProgressWheel to see precisely if there were any performance problems by entering as many as 13 controls that operated continuously. However the Demo.prg will not be released for the moment.
5. Antonio is working on mod_harbour. He told me he will put the control in the new release of fwh
The idea of making this class came from Mr. Loren in the Spanish forum, Cristobal accepted the idea even though he said there were compilations, a long time ago I created a class for circular bar codes together with a friend S.P. so I had already worked with the Pie and elipse, but the idea came from an example created many years ago by Nagewarao to make statistical graphs.
Antonino Perrcone has modified the class by inserting the gradient and the image type texture
maybe I copied some scripts from the Delphi class, but the implementation came before I saw that class in delphi, there is nothing Delphi or third parties, it was created entirely in the source code of Harbor and fivewin, I I used for an archive of 6500 records and 57 fields and it works great
Since from 1991/1992 ( fw for clipper Rel. 14.4 - Momos)
I use : FiveWin for Harbour November 2023 - January 2024 - Harbour 3.2.0dev (harbour_bcc770_32_20240309) - Bcc7.70 - xMate ver. 1.15.3 - PellesC - mail: silvio[dot]falconi[at]gmail[dot]com
