Mark's Progress Meter
---------------------
Mark's Progress Meter is an ideal alternative to other progress
meters when the total duration of an operation is unknown. A
diagonally striped bar progresses under the control of a timer or
by the calling of the Nudge method. The meter doesn't give any
indication of duration just activity.
As this package is freeware it comes with no warranty of any kind.
However, if your computer does blow up as a direct result of using
it I'd enjoy hearing about the experience.
To install Mark's Progress Meter copy all the files (except this
one) into a directory that's on your component path and install
as you would any other component.
To use Mark's Progress Meter just drop it onto a form and set a
few properties! The key properties are:
Status - Can be psOn, psOff, psNudge.
When psOn the meter moves along automatically every
Interval milliseconds.
When psOff the meter is stationary.
When psNudge the meter moves along every time the Nudge
method is called Interval times e.g. if Interval is set
to 10 then the meter will move along after 10 calls to
the Nudge Method.
ForeColor & BackColor - Define the colours used to draw the meter!
Interval - See the description of the Status property above.
Hope you like it and find it useful. Comments and suggestions are
most welcome. Future revisions of this component will be posted
to http://www.oxfordcc.co.uk/rcai.
One final thing, if you do find this useful then PLEASE be kind
enough to send me an e-mail. None of this stuff magically appeared
overnight.
