Horizontal progress bar with interpolat​e color

Looking for a control "horizontal progress bar" with interpolate color and markers like control "meter"

If I get this right - you are looking for a progress bar that changes colour as the number changes. You can set the colour of the progress bar using property nodes. I have included a VI here that I used for testing this. This VI changes the colour from green to red as the progress bar advances. Colours are stored as 3 bytes: Red, Green and Blue.
I hope that this helps.

  • JavaFX progress bar with glow effect.

    I am hoping someone can help me with this issue. I recently followed James Clarke example of a progress bar with glow effect and it helped with developing a progress bar for an application I was working on.

    I use RESTful ws to get the progress of the billing run, which is the loadProgressdata() method in the main.fx, and everything was working fine until we did the javafx sdk 1.2 update. With the update in place, I recompiled the project and found that "Resizable" in
    the "public class ProgressBar extends CustomNode, Resizable" was throwing an error when the project was recompiled. I made some changes(mainly adding variables for height and width) but now when the program runs, the backing rectangle appears along with the
    percentage of billing progress, but the progress part(2nd rectangle) does not appear with the glow effect. I have read about using "getPrefWidth()" and "getPrefHeight()" methods, but not really sure how I would use them. I can't make the public class ProgressBar extends CustomNode, Resizable abstract as I need to instantiate in the Main.fx.
    Can anyone shed some light on what might need to be done to get this running correctly again. I don't need anyone the give me the exact code, but just to point me in the correct direction.

    Can you post your code again between "{ code} ... {code }" tags ? Some symbols are missing if copy/pasted.
    That said, your preferred width and height, simply return the width and height of your component. What I discovered recently is using LayoutInfo on controls to set the preferred width and height. These are the dimensions the surrounding container (VBox, HBox, Flow, ....) will use to arrange size and position of the enclosed components. So maybe you won't need Resizable any more. Simply fill in the layoutInfo property.

  • System horizontal progress bar cannot be customized

    I noticed that I cannot customize a system horizontal progress bar by going to right-click>>Advanced>>Customize.  When the control editor shows up, the customize mode button is grayed out. 
    I can customize a numeric control or a string control using the above procedure, so why can't I do the same for a system progress bar?

    Yes.  It makes sense that the system controls are not customizable. 
    However, I do have situations where I would like to customize the system controls.  For instance, with the slide control/indicator, when you make the digital display visible, it shows up in a box.  When your slide is a control, the right side of the box contains the increment/decrement buttons.  When your slide is an indicator, these buttons are invisible, but the the box is still big enough to include them.  So, the box on the slide indicator is unnecessarily big on the right side.  Take a look at the example.vi and you will see what I mean.

  • How to use a progress bar with java mail?

    Hi, i'm new here.
    I want if someone can recommend me how to show a progress bar with java mail.
    Because, i send a message but the screen freeze, and the progress bar never appear, after the send progress finish.
    Thanks

    So why would the code we post be any different than the code in the tutorial? Why do you think our code would be easier to understand? The tutorial contains explanations about the code.
    Did you download the code and execute it? Did it work? Then customize the code to suit your situation. We can't give you the code because we don't know exactly what you are attempting to do. We don't know how you have changed to demo code so that it no longer works. Its up to you to compare your code with the demo code to see what the difference is.

  • Progress bar with Cancel button

    Hi Gurus,
    How to implement the Progressing bar with Cancel btn using the ScriptUI?, is it possible in script UI ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    what i said is that you need to hava a reference to your thread ine the class that handle the progressBar.

  • How do I create a horizontal nav-bar with CSS, set to an exact width?

    I have a problem that I need help with. All I need to do is
    to create a simple text-based horizontal navigation bar using CSS.
    I have seen many CSS tutorials online about how to make a
    horizontal navigation bar using unordered lists, but they all seem
    to either set the bar to be centred or to the full width of the
    page, or if they do set it to be a certain width, then the buttons
    within that width are centred within pre-defined widths for each
    one.
    Unfortunately none of these help me - let me explain my
    scenario...
    I have an area that is exactly 700px wide. In this area I
    want to put 5 text hyperlinks.
    I want the first text-link to be aligned to the left of my
    700px width, and I want the last text-link to be aligned to the
    right of the 700px width.
    I want the spaces between each of these text-links to all be
    the same.
    The only definite known width is the overall 700px. I will
    not know the width of each text-link, as (a) they are all live
    text, and (b) the phrases for each could change.
    I have mocked up a quick diagram showing in more detail
    precisely what I mean:

    Can anyone please help me with this?

    Only in your fantasy. In practice there are always some
    limits enforced
    by the used material or technology. You simply can't violate
    such basic
    rules and laws, even if you would like to.
    >Whether you use text, images, tables, CSS, or even

    It always looks good on paper, but not every design can be
    turned into
    practice. This not only applies to web design, but to almost
    every kind
    of development. Often enough you have to find compromises or
    workarounds
    if the engineers say "won't work". The problem is that many
    designers
    don't understand this or don't want to. They're just thinking
    and living
    in their perfect theoretical world, but have no idea of how
    things work
    in the real world. And many theoretical things simply don't
    work there.
    Each medium has its own rules and laws. Some things may work
    well for a
    printed paper for example, but not in the Web and vice versa.
    Of course
    you can try to break these rules, but you'll definitely fail.
    >You should not compromise your
    >design because of a lack of coding knowledge.
    It's not lack if coding knowledge if you refuse to try things
    that are
    impossible or don't make sense. It's quite the opposite,
    because you
    don't have to waste your time with something that won't work
    at all.
    >If you don't know how to do it
    >yourself, then find out how to do it (which is what I was
    *originally* trying
    >to do here, remember?).
    Quite easy. Surf the web, and if you see something like what
    you want,
    just have a look at the source code or post the URL here. If
    it can be
    done, then it already has been done. Just show us an example
    and we'll
    happily explain it to you.
    > Secondly, no, a client does NOT have to accept that
    "some things simply can't
    >be done or don't make any sense in the Web".
    Sure they have. The client is not always king. And if they
    insist on
    stupid things and always know it better - why the hell are
    they hiring
    you instead of doing it themselves? If they want their work
    to be done
    by an expert, they should also _listen_ to that expert and
    let him do
    his work properly instead of telling him how he should do it.
    That's not
    going to work.
    >Like I said earlier, some clients
    >are not interested in hearing about how what they want
    cannot be done, and any
    >attempts to tell them so only serve to convince them to
    take their work, and

    that simple.
    Let's say you want a little film to be made about whatever.
    Would you
    tell the director where he should position the cameras, the
    lights and
    all the stuff? He already knows _what_ you want to get, so
    why don't you
    just let him decide _how_ to do it? It's his job! And if he
    says that
    filming directly towards bright sunlight usually doesn't work
    well, you
    should respect his expert opinion.

    You asked for advice and you got proper answers. We really
    don't need
    people here just looking for the answers they want to hear.
    Often enough
    people are coming here looking for a cure to a particular
    problem, while
    it would be much easier to avoid that problem right from the
    beginning.
    Of course if they don't want to hear such alternatives -
    their problem.
    > Secondly, I was not aware that "regulars" to this site

    >"insult-free privileges" or suchlike that newcomers did

    It's not the best idea to bite the hand that feeds you. It's
    the group's
    regulars who answer almost all of the questions here. And
    most of them
    also know how to use a killfile.

    So do we. If someone wants something that's not possible or
    not going to
    work, we'll "make our opinions known". After all that's what
    a free
    discussion board/forum/group is for.

    With pure CSS and text links it can't be done within the
    given
    constraints. I even doubt that it's possible with a table. So
    either
    drop the fixed 700px width or the equal space between the
    buttons.

    You can keep the 'e'. In German we have more than enough of
    them.
    And if you would be familiar with web design, then you would
    have known
    where this ironic "error message" came from.
    Your turn.

  • TS3694 hi i recently updated into ios 7.0.4 now i want to fully restore my ipad to resell but when i restore it it got stuck with apple logo and progress bar with 45% completed as firware file is downloaded using ipad 4 wifi itunes 11.3.8

    hi i rescently updated my ipad 4 in ios 7.0.4 and for resell purpose i want to restore my ipad via itunes but it got stuck at apple logo and progress bar of 45% completed i tried it 50 times but it stuck on that exact point for hours i cant able to restore it and had no errors it just like freezes at one point i also uses dfu mode but got stuck at same problem using windows 7 32 bits itunes 11.3.8 ipad 4 wifi please help

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • Black screen/progress bar with Yosemite startup

    Since installing Yosemite on my relatively new imac, when I boot up i get a black screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar, which takes about 90 seconds to load. I've tried disc first aid, verify/repair permissions etc , done a new install from my backup disc but it still persists. is this now the way of the yosemite world?
    Thanks
    Bruce

    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • [SOLVED] No icon or progress bar with notify-osd-customizable

    Hello,
    I just reinstalled my system; I use a script to know my brightness and audio volume but I can't get it working anymore.
    With this
    notify-send 'Hello world!' -i dialog-information
    I only get the text. If I try this to have a progress bar
    notify-send 'Hello world!' -i dialog-information -h int:value:50
    I just get a notification with 1px height.
    I installed notify-osd-icons to have more icons, but it didn't help.
    The arguements have changed?

  • Scale progress bar with Event.RESIZE

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a preloader bar that goes across the whole stage. The code below works fine, except that I would also like to be able to resize the stage and have the preloader bar recognize this and change it's scaleX to accomodate the larger or smaller browser size. Does this make sense? I'm having trouble with the equation to adjust the preloader bar scaleX within the "onResizeStageLoad" function.
    function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    //Stretch the bar
    lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
    if(pcent >=100){
    this.gotoAndStop(2);
    stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResizeStageLoad);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResizeStageLoad);
    function onResizeStageLoad(evt:Event):void{
    What goes in here?
    Thanks!

    Just to close this out. You need to submit the form from within the onComplete javascript. The prior version of the progress bar 'automatically' called submitFomr() when the progress bar was 100%. That is no longer true. You must explicitly call the submitForm() javascript in onComplete. Don't know if this is a bug in the new version or not? I recommend that the submitForm() be made the default function for onComplete is none is specified in the component properties.

  • Progress Bar with Javascript

    Hi,
    I have a page that is used as a search
    page that uses sql "like" queries.As
    you know it takes an awfull lot of time
    to search through 30,000 records using
    a "like" statement,so i'd figured I create a nice
    javascript progress bar to be displayed until
    the results come up.Does anyone know how
    to do this?
    So when the search button is clicked then the
    progress bar/REGION should be display and
    when the results come up, the progress bar should
    be hidden.
    Any good suggestions?

    The way I did it is
    I added this javascript to the page header:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    /*- id can be element or nd or name returns element node */
    function html_GetElement(nd){

         node.style.display = "";
    return node
    /*- toggle node visibility */
    function html_ToggleElement(nd){
         var node = html_GetElement(nd);
         if(node.style.display == "none"){html_ShowElement(node)}
         else{html_HideElement(node)}

    then made my button a URL target and added:
    javascript:html_ShowElement('AjaxLoading');doSubmit('SEARCH');
    and finally added this to my HTML's region source:
    <style>     #AjaxLoading{padding:5px;font-size:18px;width:200px;text-align:center;left:50%;top:50%;position:absolute;border:2px solid #666;background-color:#FFF;}
    </style>
    <div id="AjaxLoading" style="display:none;">..Loading..
    <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#processing3.gif" /></div>
    I know its a bit amatuer but it seems to be working fine.
    The only problem that I've got is that it doesnt work when hitting <Return> to do the search rather than clicking on the search button.

  • Progress bar with install screen.

    Hi all,
    On my app I need a progress bar when I the app install some RMS records. Because of the app has near a milliom of records, this install is so longer, and I t's better show the progress of it with an bar :).
    How it's possible do it?
    Kind regards.

    In such case i recomend writing your own LoadingCanvas or something like that (You draw a kind of rectangle which size is connected to current progress). Animating this canvas while conducting another task is a different issue. In my soft I needed to view a progress bar while downloading images and so on from net. I achived it by running one separete thread for the connection and lunching a timerTask for the canvas redraw events. In my case it worked fine almost on every device but ned Nokia E series phones had some problems in memory management of 2 paralel task so i had to remove this form my app becouse it caused instability of application.

  • Progress bar with background task

    Hi, I am using background agent to upload files. Its taking about 30 min to upload a single image or audio file. Is there any method to reduce the time to launch the background agent in production. I'm using the following line for debug process and its
    working fine and the files are getting uploaded as soon as possible. But when the application is in windows phone store im not able to use this line of code. Please help if there is any solution to reduce the time for background agent launch. Also is there
    any UI changes I can make while the background process is running, so that the user can identify that the file is uploading. Can I use progress bar indicator or anything when the background file is uploading. Thanks.

  • Is there a way to use a progress bar with Xerces XML Parser?

    My program is parsing very long XML files that take several minutes to parse. I am using Xerces as the parser. I would like to use a progress bar to show the progress, but I haven't found any way to get Xerces to give progress updates. Is this possible?

    Use teh SAX parser and listen to SAX events. Example:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    //jaxp-api.jar:
    import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
    import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
    //sax.jar:

    * Handler to read content from (large) XML sources and send events to registered XMLListeners. Use this class to read

    * the drawback that the complete XML content is stored in one big DOM document object in memory.
