NAV Progressbar
Function will easily display a Progressbar with Remaining Time, IntroText & InfoText and this features:
*Supress allways if not guiallowed (NAS-Modus)
*Open a Window with Headline, Progressbar and estimated remaining time.
*Positionfield (Infofield), if activated
*Update the Window at every n step (incl. calculating est. remaining time)
*Every Screenrefresh needs a lot of time! So better use high steps or autostep.
-Steps > 0: Every n. Update will be shown on Screen
-Steps = 0: Update after every 4% (= 25 Updates from 0% to 100%)
-Steps < 0: Autostep e.g. -5: 5 Updates will be done (at 20,40,60,80,100%)
Works in all Navisions from 1 till current (1.x & 2.x: just remove the lines with guiallowed and reduce the Stringlenght to 250 and remove the Cu-ID's).

Example how you did a ProgressBar before:

if guiallowed then
  window.open('I do something\\@1@@@@ #2###########');
Counter1 := 0
Counter2 := Rec.count
repeat
  Counter1 += 1;
  if guiallowed and Counter1 mod 100 = 0 then begin
    window.update(1,round(Counter1/Counter2*10000),1,'>');
    window.update(2,rec.code);
  end;
  do something
until next = 0;
if guiallowed then
  window.close;

You need 3 vars (Counter + Dialog), have to remember allways the Guiallowed (except you are using Navi from 3.x and using the NAS), don't do a division by zero in the progressbar, use the mod (the Window.update needs VERY MUCH TIME!! Don't update it every 1/10 Sec!! The ScreenRefresh needs more Time than your code!)

Now you only need one Var in your code: The CU Progressbar.
the Same Code as above would look like this:

Progressbar.init(Rec.count,100,true,'DoSomething');
repeat
  ProgressBar.update(Rec.Code);
  do something
until next = 0;

reduce the Statewindow to 1 Var (CU ProgressBar) and 2 lines of code! And not slower than before!

You dont have the Vartype Duration in this Versions. So just change to Integer and you see the estimated lasting duration in Seconds.

I tried using this in report : perfect!

I tried using this in a Dataport (to replace the standard status) but the status is 100% from the beginning and time goes negative...

Any idea?
