progress without thread?

Is there a way to force an update to a progress bar without it being in a thread?

Maybe you could do it inside the event loop

Code:

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 160, "ProgressBar", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  ProgressBarGadget(0,  10, 30, 250,  30, 0, 100)
  t = ElapsedMilliseconds() 
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent(200)
    p = (ElapsedMilliseconds() - t) / 100
    If p > 100
      p = 100
    EndIf
    SetGadgetState(0, p)
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

You can use AddWindowTimer and when you get a timer event check your status and update it.

You need at least one thread ;-)

(smartass ain't I?)

I actually usually do the progressbar in the main thread (which is still a thread) and then do all the datastuff in the secondary thread.
My secondary thread does return a maxvalue.l and a nowvalue.l so I know how to draw the progressbar in the main thread.... the mainthread on the other hand focus on
repeat
if waitwindowevent(100)=#pb_event_closewindow
end
endif
;draw progressbar
until done.b

I actually got it without using a thread. Pretty simple too.

Code:

For blah blah blah To blah blah blah
  
 If ...
 ;more code here
 EndIf ...

 SetGadgetState(21, GetGadgetState(21) + Progress)
 WaitWindowEvent(1)

Next

Thanks for the help though guys!
