ProgressBar

The ProgressBar control provides a visual indication of progress in an operation such as downloading a file. The progress is defined by setting a minimum and maximum value and then incrementing a progress counter value.

Properties

Key properties of the ProgressBar control include:

  • Maximum. Sets the maximum value of the progress bar - commonly 100.
  • Minimum. Sets the minimum value for the progress bar - commonly 0.
  • Step -Sets the increment value for the progress bar. The larger the value, the less steps the bar takes to fill.
  • Style - Selects the progress bar style: Blocks, Continuous or Marquee.
  • Value. Specifies the current value for the ProgressBar. Must be within the range specified by Minimum and Maximum.

Events

Events can be configured for the ProgressBar to specify the behaviour of the control. For example, an action can be triggered when a user clicks the progress bar using the Click property.

For information on configuring events and other components of the design using a script, see: Working with Scripts.

Adding a ProgressBar

When you drag a ProgressBar control to a form, it will appear blank (i.e. no progress indicated).

Use the Properties panel to configure the appearance and behaviour of the ProgressBar.
