File Information

Description

TIMEBAR is a progress window, similar to waitbar, that shows the progress of calculations using a sliding bar, a displayed percentage complete, and an estimated time remaining.

The estimated time remaining is calculated linearly using only the initialized time, the current time, and the percent progress. It assumes a constant rate of progress.

The user can also define a displayed message (e.g., to indicate what process is being monitored) as well as a window title.

26 Nov 2002	Christian Ribe	Nice just what i was looking for! Thanks Chad.
29 Nov 2002	Fabio Murra	The bar is pretty neat but it slows calculations incredibly even at very small update rates
29 Apr 2003	Lei Wang	Very useful. It can show both time and progress information! Excellent!
08 Oct 2003	Rogério Paulo Rodrigues	Excellent, I use this for large files compilations. It gives you the idea of how much time it still miss and if the computer is blocked or not.
21 Apr 2004	Ryan O'Hara	This bar is terrific...no discernible decrease in computuational speed was really seen. Now I know whether to go get a cup of coffee or got to lunch!
14 May 2004	Ali Ozgun Ok	Nice bar!!! thanks...
22 May 2004	shoa jakson	better than waitebar
09 Aug 2006	nadia a	This progress bar is great! It really helps improving my GUI. It would be better if there is a Cancel button included in case user attempts to stop the process. Thanks a lot! I'll be using it for my masters research and I'll quote you as the source :)
10 Nov 2006	Metin S	Works great.. Only 3 lines of code to get it to work..
13 May 2008	Christal Hu	Hi, may i know how to integrate this bar into GUI which does audio file playing? I'm thinking of knowing how much time elapsed n progress in the audio file, similiar to window media player. Thank you!
