Forums Scripts & Popups mdx progress bar

im trying to make a progress bar for the time and was wondering how i would start this project... i have the progress bar setup and ready but i cant figure out how to do anything else

[edit]
im also thinking about having it so people can select what time measure they want the progress bar to be for....like xxseconds or xxminutes xxhours xxdays

What do you meen; 'for the time'? I use progressbars to from mdx... If u spessify, I might be able to help u

ok disregard everything i said, im am using it to measure one day, say its 12 noon
the progress bar would be here

{||||||||||||------------}

ok, I see....

I`m sure u have the aliases for the mdx.dll... and the init event...

so what u have to do is make an alias and execute it with a timer... Say every minute...



this should make the progress bar move as you wanted.
If not, play around with it, and/or msg me...

ok i got this far
how can i get the current seconds into the day that it is right now?


.timersitime 0 60 sitime

alias sitime { did -a si 18 xxx 1 3600 }

Im not really good with time identifiers.. But i`ll guess u have to use $ctime or something to do that...

im not sure if this is right, the number is still very huge

$ctime($asctime(mmmm d yyyy 00:00:00))

it seems like $ctime is right if i can get it to return the seconds since the begin of that day

UNTESTED
alias test {
did -a name id $iif($left($time,2) isnum,$left($time,2) 0 23,$left($time,1) 0 23)
.timer -o 0 $calc(60 * 60) did -a name id $iif($left($time,2) isnum,$left($time,2) 0 23,$left($time,1) 0 23)
}
never used a progress bar but seen other peoples, try that.

nothing happened but i think //did -a si 18 $left($time,2) works,,, ill check back with ya in a few hours to see

how do you move an mdx progress bar?
did -a name id <Place To Move> <Total Length>??

did -a name id <Place To Move> 0 <Total Length> i belive

i belive my litle piece of code works fine

thats the problem,if it does work: it may work now, when its: 20:48, but what about when its, 2:32 it will try to move to 2: in that progress bar.

whats wrong with that?

because 2: is not a number in your progress bar, however 20 is.

so make it use 02

go ahead.....

nah...ill bbl

The way I'd go about it is by setting the current time in a variable, %ctime, set the range of the progress bar from 1 - 86,400 (1 day in seconds), then just /did the %ctime variable to the progress bar. That way if the time was at 43,200 (12:00pm), the progress bar will be at 50%.
