visual wait indicator for long backgroung operations
« on: March 16, 2023, 05:31:43 pm »
Hello,
I have a windows gui application doing activities that could take long and I put these activities in a separate thread to avoid ui blocking.

I would show in the meanwhile a something to tell to the user that application is operating on background and wait (a spinning would be fine).

Is there something ready to use?

Thanks

TProgressBar has property Style which can be set to pbstMarquee. Moreover, it should be possible to place ProgressBar on StatusBar. You can search the forum.

Or a Gauge/Knob (there are many different) running in a timer a smooth continious spinning
