2 PROGRESS BAR --------------------------------------------------------
A progress bar is a graphical bar which indicates how far a specific
process is evaluated.
The progress bar can be used in almost countless circumstances :
- While calculating totals, averages, etc ...
- While copying files
- While printing reports
- While printing labels
- While processing records
- While indexing files
- While packing files
- Etc., etc, ....
RBarLib makes working with progress bars quite easy :
Step 1 : Create ( = open ) a bar using the R_OpnBar()-function
Step 2 : Update the bar while the process is evaluating (R_UpdBar())
Step 3 : Close ( = remove ) the bar after completion of the process
(R_ClsBar())
