- by Rakesh
I am trying to show a progress bar while my process is going on...in my application there will be a situation where I gotta read files and manipulate them(it will take some time to complete)..want to display a progress bar during this operation..the particular function I am calling is an win 32 ...so if you check my code below i am upto the point of creating the progress bar in a dialog window and creating a thread Now I dont know how to post the message and where to get the message and handle...Please help me..thanks in advance
//my function
int Myfunction(....)
{
HWND dialog = CreateWindowEx(0,WC_DIALOG,L"Proccessing...",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,
600,300,280,120,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
HWND pBar = CreateWindowEx(NULL,PROGRESS_CLASS,NULL,WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,40,20,200, 20,
dialog,(HMENU)IDD_PROGRESS,NULL,NULL);
HANDLE getHandle = CreateThread(NULL,NULL,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)SetFilesForOperation(...),
NULL,NULL,0);
}
LPARAM SetFilesForOperation(...)
{
for(int index = 0;index < noOfFiles; index++)
{
*checkstate = *(checkState + index);
if(*checkstate == -1)
{
*(getFiles+i) = new TCHAR[MAX_PATH];
wcscpy(*(getFiles+i),*(dataFiles +index));
i++;
}
else
{
(*tempDataFiles)->Add(*(dataFiles+index));
*(checkState + localIndex) = *(checkState + index);
localIndex++;
}
//SendMessage(pBar,PBM_SETSTEP,1,0);
}
}
