Progress Bar Component version 1.0

Screenshot

Progress bars are easy to create in 4D, but it's important to create progress bars which don't slow down the execute of the process you're showing the progress for.

This open-source component allows developers to easily monitor the progress of client processes and stored procedures using a single dialog to display the progress of all processes. The dialog will also display barber-poles when the actual progress isn't known and a few additional messages which can be set in the process being monitored.

The component uses just one local process for the progress bar dialog which displays all the progress bars, but also contains an extra feature to allow developers to easily display a progress bar in their own dialogs that displays the progress of a background process or stored procedure.

Documentation

Most of the documentation for this component is currently contained in the component itself in the insider comments viewable in the 4D Explorer, HotHelp in QuickCode Pro and 4D Insider. Full documentation should be produced at a later stage.
