Re: lingo-l baXCopy progress
i am using buddyApi's baXCopy function to copy a directory form a CD to the users hard drive... problem is, i need some form of progress bar there is also a progress copy beta module for the BudyApi Xtra. You can find it at www.mods.com.au then follow the buddy - downloads - beta versions. Just put it in your xtras folder reference it like any buddy command. We use it all the time... good luck, Nick Youmans FutureMedia [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.

Re: Re: lingo-l baXCopy progress
worse comes to worse, you can always display text asking the user to wait, and remove it when the copying is over. it can even be a film loop or animated gif so that there's some motion, even if it's just a simple repetitive animation... but whatever you do, riki, don't lose that number. - -bhakti, groaning right along with all of you Yes, I am groaning (thanks, Bhakti)... is that number 867-5309? Just want to add that you've set things up well by using the exitframe. That should allow you to do *something* while the copying goes on. You might consider changing the cursor to an hourglass, as well. 2 cents, Kurt [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.

RE: lingo-l baXCopy progress
i am using buddyApi's baXCopy function to copy a directory form a CD to the users hard drive... problem is, i need some form of progress bar as at present the system looks like it is locked up until the copying is complete and knowing from what i do when it looks like the computer is locked up, i need to make it look like it's doing something. hi riki, While Buddy's baXCopy function certainly will perform the function admirably, users will not be happy with a static message while the computer hangs there grinds away and most likely neither will your client! They certainly expect at a minimum the standard display of a bar indicating how the copy is proceeding. May I suggest the ProgessCopy Xtra from UpdateStage? The ProgressCopy Xtra copies files with an optional progress bar display. The progress display can include a custom text message, and provides the user with a Cancel button. You can get more information, read the on-line documentation, download a fully functional demo version or purchase the Xtra here: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/progresscopy.html Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac Director versions supported: 5,6,7,8,8.5 Authorware 3.5 and up Author: Glenn Picher Hope that this is of use, Al Hospers Marketing Associate UpdateStage alhospersatupdatestagedotcom http://www.updatestage.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
