Hi,
GTK's progress bar has a feature where the progress bar moves left and
right repeatedly, instead of the normal from Min to Max.
What do you call that feature and what do you actually use it for?
I know I have seen in used in Mozilla Thunderbird as well, but
couldn't remember where.
I just implemented a basic TProgressBar widget for fpGUI and wanted to
know if that Gtk progress bar feature (running left and right
repeatedly) is something people actually use in applications and worth
the time implementing in fpGUI.
It's used when you don't know the time a thing will last (for example,
some downloads in FF, or Windows XP boot)
Not sure it's very useful, most of the time i prefer adding a "Kb
Downloaded" or things like that to show people that the program is working.
My 2 cents ;o)
