How to create a progress bar showing status on timeout of TCP Read function

Is there any way of creating a progress bar showing the status of a 'TCP Read timeout' time ... ?
I'm sending a data request to an intranet server via TCP Write, and then using TCP Read with a 2 min. timeout to receive the requested data. During this time i want to show the actual progress of the timeout in a progress bar.
Can this be done?
And do i have to implement some kind of multitasking to make it happen?
TIA

It can be done and you need to do some multitasking yes, but that is
quite easy in LabVIEW. A separate loop or subVI with loop will be
responsible for the progress bar. Set its scale to 0 and the number of
seconds of your timeout. In parallel to the TCP Read let this loop or VI
execute reading the time every few
seconds and calculating the
difference to its start time, passing this value to the progress bar
slider. Have an extra boolean global which aborts the loop and set this
boolean to FALSE before starting the loop/VI and TCP Read and setting it
to TRUE on return of the TCP Read.

Is it possible to create a Progress Bar?

Hi All,
Is there any way to create a Progress Bar in a Form?
John

You can create your own progress bar form using Visual Basic. Display your progress bar form with the always on top flag set with an API call.
I've done this and I use it a lot because I have found that there is no other way to indicate to the user that a lengthy process is executing.

Creating a progress bar while querying a report in Visual Studio

I have created a Visual Studio 2013 program that runs reports from a SQL server. I want a progress bar to show up in my VS program while it is querying so my user doesn't think that it is frozen while running larger queries. How can I do this.
Step by step is better since I am new to programming.
Gracies
Much Love

Hi flextera,
Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:
Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
To make this issue clearly, would you mind letting us know more information about this issue? Which language are you using? Which kind of app are you developing? You said that it is related to the report in SQL Server, is it the SSRS issue or the specific
windows app like the WinForms app?
Please share me more information, I will help you find the correct forum for this issues.
If there's any concern, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Jack

How to create/set progress bar for loading flash intro

Hi,
I am having a falsh intro for my website.
But its taking time to download and play the intro when we try to access it.
I have seen many sites with progress bar indicating the status on the downloading of flash items.
Can anybody please tell me how should I go about this?

You can make a simple loader, it's a visual cue so your users wait for a moment.
Try this, get a GIF from one of these site: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&q=loading+gif&btnG=Se arch
download it and name it as loader.gif
add it to you page, and add the following to the page using HTML Snippet:
<script type='text/javascript'>
var timerCount = 0;
var delayTimer = 5; // change this for the duration to show the loader.gif
var loaderName = 'loader.gif';
function stopLoader() {
_imgs = parent.document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for (ji = 0; ji< _imgs.length; ji++) {
if (_imgs[ji].src.indexOf(loaderName) != -1) {
loaderElement = _imgs[ji];
break;
if (timerCount == delayTimer) {
loaderElement.style.visibility = 'hidden';
clearInterval(_stopLoader);
timerCount++;
parent.iWLog(timerCount);
_stopLoader = setInterval('stopLoader()', 1000);
</script>
BTW, here is an example: http://hdl.50webs.com/Sample/Blank.html

Creating a progress bar on a HTTP Service

Hello All,
As the top title suggests, does anyone know the best way of doing this? The HTTP service is simply pulling some XML data and I want to inform the user of how long this is going to take or what % it is currently completed.
I dont have much experience with using progress bars so any help would be much appreciated.
THANKs!

I found this online but It doesnt seem to work;
If your HTTPService has id of httpService you have to first invoke an eventListener of type ProgressEvent.PROGRESS. On the stage or in your Popup you have to make a progressBar with id (for example myProgressBar)
httpService.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRES, progressFunction);
Than you have define a progressFunction that will accept broadcasted ProgressEvent like so
private function progressFunction(event:ProgressEvent):void{
myProgressBar.mode = 'manual';
myProgressBar.setProgress(event.bytesLoaded, event.bytesTotal);
//you can than do something when content is loaded
if (event.bytesLoaded == event.bytesTotal){
//code for popup removal or removal of progressBar

Creating a progress bar using BufferReader()

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to count the number of bytes that BufferReader() has read. I doing that because I need it to calculate progress (to have a progress bar). This is what I'm doing.
private void createOutputFile() {
        String line;
        String [] temp = new String [21];
        try {
            FileReader fr = new FileReader(new File(openTF.getText()));
            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(new File(saveTF.getText()));
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
            BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                temp = line.split("\\t");
                if (temp.length > 18 && temp[18].length() > 0){
                    fw.write(temp[0] + "\t" + temp[18] + "\n");
            bw.close(); fw.close();
            br.close(); fr.close();
        catch (FileNotFoundException fN) {
            fN.printStackTrace();
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
    }I know that I can do it using BufferedInputStream but due to the fact that I'm parsing each line of the file, I don't think I can do that because the length of each line is different (am I right?)
Thanks.
Desmond

the length of each line is different (am I right?)Probably. Just get the length of the each line your read and keep a running total.

How to Create Progress Bar in SAP

Hi!
I need to know how to create a progress bar in Sap Business One with VB.Net to Show a Scheduling Status.

Hi Parag,
The code you need to create a progress bar is:
Dim Progress as Integer
Dim oProgressBar As SAPbouiCOM.ProgressBar
oProgressBar = oApplication.StatusBar.CreateProgressBar("YOUR_TEXT", oRecordset.RecordCount, True)
oProgressBar.Text = "YOUR_TEXT"
and for each record:
Progress += 1
oProgressBar.Value = Progress
When all is finished
oProgressBar.Stop()

Problem in creating progress bar in form6i

dear all
how are you?
i created a progress bar but i face a problem.
in the when button pressed trigger i write this
declare
cursor MY_cur is
select col1,col2,col3
from base_table;
vWIDTH number :=0;
vSTEP NUMBER := 0;
begin
SELECT COUNT(1)
INTO vROWS
FROM base_table;
vSTEP := 300 / vCOUNT;
show_view('progress_bar_stack');
for i in MY_cur is
loop
insert int my_tab(c1,c2,c3)
values(i.col1,i.col2,i.col3);
set_item_property('progree_item',width,width+vSTEP);
synchronize;
end loop;
end;
I ASK IS THIS A GOOD WAY TO CREATE A PROGRESS BAR OR NOT . AND IS THERE ANOTHE WAY TO CREATE A PROGRESS OTHER THAN THIS.
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A WAY , WRITE IT .
TAREK FATHI
2005 05 31

my way of implementig a progress bar is:
window wn_pbar with canvas cn_pbar and a button bt_pbar. The Button has a width of 1 pixel and max 300.
now I have a procedure pbar.init (P_<wn-name>, P_<max-value>) which writes a window-header in the wn_pbar and a max-value in a package-variable.
another function named pbar.next (P_<value> DEFAULT 1) increments an internal variable act-value. This act-value is initially 0 and can increment to max-value. The act-value/max-value is the percentage of the width of the button. e.g. 1200/2000 means 60% -> 60% of width 300 = 180 width for the button.
another procedure pbar.destroy deletes the variables, closes the window wn_pbar and goes back to the item, where the focus was before the pbar started.
with this steps you can easily group these objects in a objectgroup and inherit it to all forms you need a pbar. the sourcecode is still in a library pbar.pll which you have to attach.
it looks like your functionality, but you can use it anywhere you need it.
try it
Gerd
PS: This is a very useful method for forms client/server. In the web you have to check, that the button not refreshes to open.... the more network-roundtrips, the fewer performance...

Create progress bar

Hi. Do you know how to create a progress bar ?
In my JSP, i'm going to show some numbers and a progress bar telling the user how many % of a job (s)he has done. I'm doing a regular refresh and getting the %-number from a backend-method.
I'll be very thankful getting some advice.

This is just one of those posts that is just asking for some sarcastic remarks... I'll pass this time.
Advice about what? Only post here if you have a problem you can't solve yourself. If you check the other posts, another one about this very same topic has some replies, I suggest checking it out.

CS3 JS progress bar function

I'm trying to create a progress bar function but the code below creates 6 instances of the progress window rather than updating the info in the first window. I've gone the for loop process to make progress bars work is this the only way it can be used or is there a way to tell if a window is open on if so update the bar and info of that window?
to call the bar I use stagesLeft("Looking for duplicates",1)
function stagesLeft(myText,stageVal){
    var myStop =6;
    var myPbValue = stageVal;
    var myWindow = new Window ( 'window',' Progress');
    var myProgressBar = myWindow.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 350, 24], 0, myStop);
    var myStaticText = myWindow.add('statictext');
    myStaticText.bounds = [0, 0, 340, 20];
    myStaticText.alignment = "left";
        myWindow.show();
        myProgressBar.value = myPbValue;
        myStaticText.text = myText;
        myWindow.text = 'Stage '+ myPbValue + ' out of ' + myStop;
        if(myPbValue == 6){
        myWindow.close();

Thanks Jongware I knew it had to be something simple.
Working version:
    var myStop =6;
    var myWindow = new Window ( 'window','Progress');
    var myProgressBar = myWindow.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 350, 24], 0, myStop);
    var myStaticText = myWindow.add('statictext');
    myStaticText.bounds = [0, 0, 340, 20];
    myStaticText.alignment = "left";
function stagesLeft(myText,stageVal){
    if(stageVal == 1){
        myWindow.show();
        myProgressBar.value = stageVal;
        myStaticText.text = myText;
        myWindow.text = 'Stage '+ stageVal + ' out of ' + myStop;
        if(stageVal == 6){
        myWindow.close();
To use the function:
stagesLeft("This is the first stage",1)
then further on in the script when another process is taking place
stagesLeft("Here is stage 2 of this script",2)
etc etc.
Cheers, John.

Show progress bar before loading the applet or application

sorry for my english.

Do everything in a seperate thread. Create a progress bar in the main thread, then create a new thread for initializing your app. Once the init is done, hide the progress bar and make your app visible.

HTTP Request Progress Bar

Hello All,
Im trying to create a progress bar on a HTTP request that
loads in some XML data into my flex app. I can see how it's done
using an Image or an SWF however the HTTP request doesn't emit any
progress / complete events.
Does anyone have any ideas of how this can be achieved.
Example code would be great.
Thanks
