Xojo 2017R2.1 Windows 7 Progress bar wrong filling

Targets Windows
1

Greetings,

It seems that there is a problem on the windows side for the progress bar part. I have some processing to do and it is reflected on the progress bar .
On MAC works perfect but on windows for example I have 149585 records to process and when I`m on 7250 the progress bar is already to 45 % which is wrong so when I reach to 10% real the progress bar shows something like 80% filled, on Mac shows correct one.

Any idea what it is ? it used to work properly before as I use it a lot and the previous versions work ok .

Thanks .

Please file a Feedback report. Includes a simple sample project that demonstrates the issue.

If you continue to have problems with Feedback, email the sample project to me and I’ll raise the case. Assuming I can verify it of course :slight_smile:

Well think I found the issue

[quote]The maximum value of the progress bar. The maximum value of Maximum is 65536.[/quote] this is what I see into the docs, but it is strange how it works properly on Mac, and because it does not say if windows or Mac then I have not idea.

I guess I have to do some kind of calculations for the amount bigger than that value. in my case 149585

I assume that the progress bar is based on 32 bit framework, so as well the limitation.

Thanks .

You should try to convert your values to 0-100 range. Might work always as expected.

Yup, that’s what I always do.

As others have said, it may have a maximum value of 65536
But if your progress bar is 2 cm wide , even on a hires screen, it doesnt have 65536 pixels across.

Set the Maximum to 100
Take YOUR maximum.
Take YOUR value
then

Progressbar.value   = ( YOURVALUE/YOURMAXIMUM * 100)

It updates in 100 steps - doesnt need to be updated any more frequently.

dim newval as integer = ( YOURVALUE/YOURMAXIMUM * 100) if Progressbar.value <> newval then Progressbar.value = newval
