Progress bar / status bar creation inside HM

Roshan Shiveshwar

Hi,

 I am creating a custom HM tab using  hm_framework.  In the GUI, I am planning to add a progess bar/status bar which should update during the process. As of now, I am able to create progress bar but unable to update it dynamically.

 

 

Is there any way to achive this?

 

Thanks,

Roshan

Hi,

In loop where you are changing % of progress bar, you need 'update' command to refresh GUI

example

for {set i 1} {$i<100} {incr i} {

     set progress_percent $i; #at this time progress bar displaying not yet moved to i%

     update; #after updating GUI, progress bar move to i%

}

 

if loop is very long (millions of cycles), 'update' will slow down script very much.

so I only 'update' GUI once per 10000 cycles, help to save time while program is not frozen.
