Progress Bar in IOS does not work - Is this a Bug?

Post by DR White » Sat Jul 25, 2015 2:16 pm

Using the scrollbar "Progress Scrollbar" from the LiveCode tool set looks very crude in my IOS app. Also, even though I have it set up for a start value of 1 and a end value of 27, I only get a change in the progress every 2 or 3 counts. Is there something I can do to give the progress bar better resolution, so that it shows progress with each count?

I am using LC 7.0.6.

Thanks,

David

You might want to look at this set: <http://tmtools.tactilemedia.com/tmcontrol2/index.html> Scott has done a marvelous job of recreating native iOS controls.

In general, a tight repeat loop will not redraw the screen regularly. To force a redraw, use a "send" contruct to update the progress bar at intervals, or add a brief "wait with messages" to allow the engine to redraw the screen. I'll echo Klaus and ask for your script so we can see what's blocking the updates.

He is my simple code that works fine on the computer, not so good on the IOS simulator.
I wonder why?

I was not able to upload a livecode extension, so I attached a zip file.

Thanks,

David
