I have given up trying to actually time my script with the progress bar, to many files and dozens of loops. Is there a simple way to code the progress bar to just loop from 0-100% continuously until the entire script is finished?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. It appears that it is still trying to base the progress bar in accordance with progress of the script and or its "time." I want a completely unintelligent progress bar that does nothing more than "blink" so the user knows the process isn't dead. Something like:

Loop
{
Gui, Progess, 50
GUI, Progress, 100
Gui, Progress, 0
}

Of course the problem is that the rest of my script wouldn't run because it would be stuck on this loop.

You would need a timer, as tidbit suggested. You may also want to use the PBS_MARQUEE style (0x8) on your progress bar.

This style is typically used to indicate an ongoing operation whose completion time is unknown.
Code:
Gui, Add, Text,,Please Wait...
Gui, Add, Progress, r2 w200 0x8 -Smooth vPrgs
SetTimer, Progress, 100
;rest of script here

Gui, Show
return
GuiClose:
 ExitApp

Progress:
 GuiControl,,Prgs
return

This may help, I use this for program messages.

Just use

Code:
Message := "Please Wait..."
GoSub MessageUp
<code to wait for>
GoSub MessageDown


Potentially you could 'animate' this so with GuiControl so that it goes
Please wait.
Please wait..
Please wait...
Please wait.
Etc


Code:
MessageUp:
Gui 3: Margin, 0,0
Gui 3: +LastFound
GUI_ID:=WinExist()
Gui 3: font, s16, Arial
Gui 3: -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +Border
Gui 3: Add, text,,%message%
Gui 3: font, s5, Arial
Gui 3: Show, AutoSize xCenter yCenter NoActivate, Working...
DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",250,"UInt","0xa0000")
Return

MessageDown:
DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",250,"UInt","0x90000")
Gui 3: Destroy
Return

Thanks for the help...concerning the timer, I have never played with this before, but it still seems to stick on the label like a loop would. In the code below how can I get beyond the label to my code and still have the label conintually executing?

EDIT: Nevermind, put the code BEFORE the time label, i got it...thanks for the help

EDIT 2: This is still no good though, makes the code run like a snail. Does it break between each line of code to run the label?

Code:
Gui, Add, Progress, x96 y280 w330 h50 vprogress, 25
Gui, Add, Button, x66 y60 w100 h30 , run
Gui, Show, w477 h377, New GUI Window
return

Buttonrun:

SetTimer, timelabel, 1000


timelabel:
GUIcontrol,,progress, 25
sleep 500
GUIcontrol,,progress, 50
sleep, 500
GUIcontrol,, progress, 75
sleep, 500
GUIcontrol,, progress, 100
return

sleep 5000 ; my code

msgbox, test



return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

probably should get rid of the sleeps in there, and call the timer when you want to update...

something like:

Code:
TempProgress = 0
SetTimer, ProgressUpdate, 1000
Return ;=== end auto-execute

ProgressUpdate: ;=== increases TempProgress by 10 each second
 GUIcontrol,,progress, % TempProgress += 10
 If TempProgress > 100
  TempProgess = 0
Return

Buttonrun:
 TempProgress = 1
 GUIcontrol,,progress, 0
 SetTimer, ProgressUpdate, 200
Return

ProgressUpdate:
 If (TempProgress *= 1.2) > 100
  TempProgress = 1
 GUIcontrol,,progress, % TempProgress
Return
