- Mark's Progress Meter
- ---------------------
-
- Mark's Progress Meter is an ideal alternative to other progress
- meters when the total duration of an operation is unknown. A
- diagonally striped bar progresses under the control of a timer or
- by the calling of the Nudge method. The meter doesn't give any
- indication of duration just activity.
-
- As this package is freeware it comes with no warranty of any kind.
- However, if your computer does blow up as a direct result of using
- it I'd enjoy hearing about the experience.
-
- To install Mark's Progress Meter copy all the files (except this
- one) into a directory that's on your component path and install
- as you would any other component.
-
- To use Mark's Progress Meter just drop it onto a form and set a
- few properties! The key properties are:
-
- Status - Can be psOn, psOff, psNudge.
- When psOn the meter moves along automatically every
- Interval milliseconds.
- When psOff the meter is stationary.
- When psNudge the meter moves along every time the Nudge
- method is called Interval times e.g. if Interval is set
- to 10 then the meter will move along after 10 calls to
- the Nudge Method.
- ForeColor & BackColor - Define the colours used to draw the meter!
- Interval - See the description of the Status property above.
-
- Hope you like it and find it useful. Comments and suggestions are
- most welcome. Future revisions of this component will be posted
- to http://www.oxfordcc.co.uk/rcai.
-
- One final thing, if you do find this useful then PLEASE be kind
- enough to send me an e-mail. None of this stuff magically appeared
- overnight.
