 |
|
Does anyone have an idea? I would like to pop up a window showing the status of a download so that people don't think my script (which downloads some programs) isn't just sitting there

You could use a ToolTip, TrayTip, MsgBox, Progress/SplashImage or a GUI with a Progress control.

I am using a third party DLL ( own use! ) & the problem is it displays some garbage.
I have mailed the author a week back and did not get a reply! I accept the garbage, &
it does a terrific job, and easy to DllCall!
I will let you know if the author responds and sets it right.
Regards,

Hey Titan, those were good ideas (I had been searching for status, not progress), the only problem is that URLDownloadFile doesn't go to the next step until it's completely downloaded (which I just discovered), so I probably will have to call a DLL like Goyyah is doing
And Goyyah, do you know where I could get the DLL? Even if it does display garbage? Maybe I could send him an e-mail too and he'll realize its something that needs to be fixed

Do you know the file size before you start to download? E.g. on ftp site the file size is specified. If so, you could monitor the file size on your disc with a timer and calculate the percentage of download. I did such a thing for one app of mine which uses cURL to download form a ftp site. Before I had shown the user the listing, so I already had the size. But the same should be possible without showing the user the listing. The listing should be fairly small in size so it should be fast to download.

I can use HttpQueryInfo to get the file size... but the thing is I can't get it to do anything else while its doing the download
do you know (maybe this is what you were saying) if I can set a time before the install that will continue to do so while it is installing?

hmmm can anyone tell me why this isn't working? (trying a timer)
Download(path, dLocation)
{
Critical
SetTimer, Pop, 2000
UrlDownloadToFile, %dLocation%, %path%
Return
}
Pop:
{
MsgBox First time!
}
it seems to still freeze on the URL downloadtofile
-Kerry
P.S. I'll add the actual progress bar when I'm sure I can make something popup will work |

Sure Kerry !
Here is the Download Link: http://istool.org/default.aspx/downloads
Contact : istool_AT_istool.org
The mail I sent :
| Quote: | Dear Mr. Bjørnar Henden,
Let me first say that I am very much impressed with isxdl.dll .
I tried it with AutoHotkey scripting language and it is simply great!!
However I am getting a small glitch, maybe due to some bug in my coding.
Please view the snapshot: http://autohotkey.net/~goyyah/AHK/Image1.png
This is the code : http://autohotkey.net/~goyyah/AHK/Download_AutoHotkey.ahk
The numbers appears as garbage.  -
AutoHotkey is a very easy scripting language and is very powerful to automate
various tasks in Windows. Download: http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
The forum is here and you can find me with my nick "Goyyah" : http://www.autohotkey.com/forum
I hereby seek permission (non-commercial) to use it for my routine download tasks
( I am just a single PC - home user).
I also seek permission to publish my code & provide a download link for your wonderful DLL.
Please revert back.
Thanks & Regards,
A N Suresh Kumar,
Chennai - INDIA |
An example to Call the DLL : Download_AutoHotkey.ahk
Regards,
Edit: He has done it by calling multiple functions in WININET.DLL!

@ Titan
Is this a good way to use what you said?
Filesize = 1350KB | Code: | IniRead, Dversion, radio.ini, Dversion, key
Progress, h94 w220, One moment please, Winamp v%Dversion%`nis downloading, Winamp install
WinActivate, Winamp install
#Persistent
SetTimer, ADD, 250
UrlDownloadToFile, http://dvd.puppyfoon.com/uploads/MuxMan/%Winstall%, %Winstall%
Sleep, 1000
Progress, Off
SetTimer, ADD, off
RunWait, %Winstall%
return
ADD:
SetBatchLines, -1
FileGetSize, size, %Winstall%, K
if size > 0
Progress, 15
if size > 250
Progress, 20
if size > 375
Progress, 30
if size > 500
Progress, 40
if size > 625
Progress, 50
if size > 750
Progress, 60
if size > 875
Progress, 70
if size > 1000
Progress, 80
if size > 1125
Progress, 90
if size > 1230
Progress, 100
return |
It seems to work but it with small files it sometimes does only 2 or 3 updates, size isn't updated fast enough?
