Hello, A few years back, Dave Cragg was kind enough to explain in detail how to build a stack that shows the progress of a download (I've included his message below).
The script works, but there's a glitch. When the progress-stack is called up only its edge can be seen. Its body, instead of showing a progres bar increasing as the download progresses, shows nothing but a freeze-view of whatever was on the screen beneath it before it popped open. I've tried setting buffer properties, but that did not work. Is there a way of getting this to work? Thank you. -- Nicolas Cueto <here's Dave Cragg's message and script> You can show status using "go" as well. libUrlSetStatusCallback works for both blocking (e.g. load url) and non-blocking (.e.g. get url) calls. Below is the script of a *very crude* progress palette. The stack consists of two fields (one named "url" and the other named "status"), and a scrollbar (progress bar) named "progress" . Name the stack "url_status" (or anything you want). Make this stack a substack of your main stack. Then somewhere (e.g in your mainstack's preopenstack handler), include the following: start using "url_status" That's it. After that, it should work for all downloads and uploads (which may not be what you want).
