Hey Bin Chen[or how do I call you :-)],
First of all, thank you very much for your instant reply.
Let me give a simple pseudo-code explaining my problem. Please see what I
can do with this.
Program Goal: Do work w1 "iterations" number of times, and keep showing
progress of this whole work regularly.
Pseudo code:
for(i=0;i<iterations;i++)
{
do w1;
fraction = (i+1)/iterations;
Update progress bar using this fraction.
}
This is what I coded, and the progress bar never got updated until
fraction was 0.99[that is, the progress bar went from zero to 100 % after
the whole work was done].
As far as the above pseudo-code goes, the progress bar here doesnt have to
understand my logic of estimating progress fraction. It simply has to
update the fraction given to it regularly.
Please help me[again :-)]
Vijay
