Description
|
Creates a progress bar gadget and returns its handle. Requires Extended language mode. The standard feedback control for anything that takes a while in a tool: exporting a level, baking lightmaps, downloading assets. Drive it with UpdateProgBar, which takes a floating point fraction from 0.0 (empty) to 1.0 (full). Progress bars are display-only - the user cannot interact with them and they post no events. Pair one with SetStatusText or a label for a message about what is happening. See it working in the layout and controls sample, where a slider drives it live; the world editor shell sample shows the surrounding editor layout. See also: UpdateProgBar, CreateSlider, SetStatusText, CreateLabel. |
