Adding a Toolbox Indicator

RjMaJay

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add a Indicator to display the progress of a change log search on NAV 2009SP1, But I'm not sure where it needs to be pointing at.

Any help would be great

for creating a progress window follow https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd338672.aspx
to calculate the value of the progress bar you need a maximum value, in your case the no. of change log entries according to the filter you use.

So would this be correct?

ProgressWindow.OPEN('Change Log Search #1#######');
REPEAT
SLEEP(1000);
ProgressWindow.UPDATE(1,SearchKeys."No.");
// Process the search.
UNTIL SearchKeys.NEXT = 0;
ProgressWindow.CLOSE;

Looks ok.

For a progress bar you need '@' as a placeholder instead of the '#'.
The value you need to provide for the bar to gradually fill needs to be an Integer between 0 and 9999.

ProgressWindow.OPEN('Change Log Search @1@@@@@@@@');
TotalCount := SearchKeys.COUNT;
REPEAT
  Cnt := Cnt + 1
  ProgressWindow.UPDATE(1,ROUND(Cnt / TotalCount * 9999,1));
  // Process the search.
UNTIL SearchKeys.NEXT = 0;
ProgressWindow.CLOSE;

Please consult developer help on OPEN Function (Dialog).
Note: NAV code uses 10000 as a scaling factor, but help says, it ought to be 9999.
