[Gambas-user] progress bar and shell command which takes ages

[Daniel Campos]

May you could do it without loops, use EXEC FOR INPUT or FOR READ, and
read the progress from the application (I assume the console
application pushes a text progress bar or a percentage indicator
during the process), then refresh the ProgressBar anytime you find a
Process_Read() event, something like

PUBLIC hProc AS Process

PUBLIC SUB hProc_Read()

Dim Buf as String

READ #hProc,Buf,Lof(hProc)

' Parse the buffer here

ProgressBar1.Value=whatever

END

PUBLIC SUB StartTheProcess()

hProc=Exec[Application,param1,param2...] FOR INPUT
Object.Attach(hProc,Me,"hProc")

END
