Hi Actually multi threading is not a matter of Qooxdoo. It's a matter of JavaScript. Indeed the only way to parallelise procedures is web worker.
But in your case you should rethinking your code. As I could see in a quick overview you are calling many timeouts at the same time. That means after 2 seconds all of your timeout functions will be called. So just last one will have a visible effect. I guess it's better to start one short time out which will update the view and call the same function again in a timeout till a condition is guilty. If you desire to use a Qooxdoo method to initialise an interval take a look on qx.event.Timer Hope I could help Regards Mustafa Von meinem iPhone gesendet Am 03.08.2012 um 20:24 schrieb "Eric Paul" <ericallenp...@hotmail.com>: > Is there a way to display a progress bar while performing a long running > task? > > Generally when I do this it requires 2 threads, does such a thing exist in > qooxdoo? > > Here's what I have so far: > > //console.clear(); > > // Document is the application root > var root = this.getRoot(); > var box = new qx.ui.layout.VBox(); > var container = new qx.ui.container.Composite(box); > > var pb = new qx.ui.indicator.ProgressBar(0, 100); > var lblPrimary = new qx.ui.basic.Label(); > var lblSecondary = new qx.ui.basic.Label(); > var totalCount = 1000; > > // Create a button > var button1 = new qx.ui.form.Button("GO", > "icon/22/apps/internet-web-browser.png"); > button1.setMaxWidth(100); > > root.add(container, {left:0,top:0}); > container.add(lblPrimary); > container.add(pb); > container.add(lblSecondary); > container.add(button1); > > lblPrimary.setValue("Please Wait..."); > lblSecondary.setValue("Completed: 0 (0%)"); > > box.setSpacing(10); > container.setPadding(20); > > //get real time change from the progressbar > pb.addListener("change", function(e) { > lblSecondary.setValue("Completed: " + pb.getValue() + " (" + e.getData() + > "%)"); > lblSecondary.setTextColor("black"); > }); > > > // Add an event listener > button1.addListener("execute", function(e) { > > for(i = 0; i<totalCount; i++) > { > setTimeout(function () { > > var percentComplete = i / totalCount * 100; > pb.setValue(percentComplete); > lblSecondary.setValue("Completed: " + i + " (" + percentComplete + > "%)"); > > }, 2000); > > } > > }); > > //when complete make the info text green > pb.addListener("complete", function(e) { > lblSecondary.setTextColor("green"); > }); > > > Everything works as advertised, but I really want my for loop to update the > progress bar and labels as it is performing the work. > > Thanks, > > -Eric > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
