Progress Bar Updates

[Bill Vlahos]

I've successfully used libURLSetStatusCallback for getting the status  
when downloading from a web server and updating a progress bar.  
However, when I try it for opening a file from a file server it  
doesn't work. Below is the code for the file server open in a button.

global vSyslogFile

on mouseUp
    answer file "Open Syslog File:"
    if it is not empty then
       libURLSetStatusCallback "myProgress",the long ID of me
       show sb 1 -- progress bar
       put URL ("file:" & it) into vSyslogFile
       hide sb 1
    end if
end mouseUp

on myProgress theURL,theStatus
   if "loading" is item 1 of theStatus then set the thumbpos of sb 1  
to (item 2 of theStatus/item 3 of theStatus)*(the endvalue of sb 1-
startvalue of sb 1)
end myProgress

Does this not work for these kinds of put URL commands?

No, it doesn't. The docs for it say

When you do, e.g.,     put URL ("file:abc.txt") into temp
control doesn't return to you until the put is complete.

Have a look at this revLesson:

Although not at all as comprehensive as Sarah's, this code updates a  
human-readable time left and download speed status text under the bar:

Hi there,

I have a standalone stack I have uploaded to
On-Rev which is supposed to read in some
external files which are also on On-Rev.
Those files are located in the same folder
as the standalone application on On-Rev.

The problem is - what is the pathname to use?

If I look at the default folder it is pointing to the
user's desktop machine rev-plugin.  I need
the path to the On-Rev folders.

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Get the filename of your main stack, then parse it to replace the item
after the last slash with the file you want to access.

Hi Jacqueline,

I used:

    put the filename of this stack into VarShowStackName
    answer "VarShowStackName = " & VarShowStackName

It returns nothing in the standalone.

As a desktop application it works fine.

Am I missing some library?

Suggestions?

Rick
