Question:

Is there a maximum progress range for the astatusbar command. I am using a huge number - 472,556 as my max and it doesn't appear to be working. If there is a MAX can you tell me what number is?

AddExtender("wwsop34i.DLL")
t1 = 472556

astatusbar(0,"test","test",t1,0)

for xloop = 1 to t1
astatusbar(1,"testb","testb",t1,xloop)
next xloop

Answer:

Yes I believe the maximum progress range is 65535. If your number is larger than that you might try dividing the number into a smaller value. I recommend doing a little math and addjusting the range to a 0 to 100 scale

Here is some sample code which can Range up to 1,000,000,000 for people who have a Pentium 7 :)

AddExtender(StrCat(DirHome(),"wwsop34i.DLL"))     ; Load extender.
aStatusBar(0,"","",0,0)                           ; Init astatusbar.
Tlc=1000000000                                    ; Total line count.
Clx=500000000                                     ; Current line count.
aStatusBar(1,"Title","Text",Min(34000.0,Tlc+0.0),Min(Clx+0.0,(Clx+0.0)/(Tlc+0.0)*34400.0)) ; Show progress.
TimeDelay(1)
aStatusBar(2,"","",0,0)                           ; Close bar.
