Re: GtkProgressBar Example

It would be extremely helpful if you could let us know which examples don't work and use deprecated code. Are you sure you are viewing the latest PHP-Gtk2 docs? (http://www.php-gtk2.de/) > Examples are hard to find for us newbies. Are there any suggestions > for finding good coding examples. We are constantly working towards adding examples to the documentation. Meanwhile, looking at some of Christian's various PHP-Gtk2 apps, or the Gtk2_Components PEAR packages could be of some help. As for the progress bar, one is implemented in the PEAR Package: Gtk2_PHPConfig. Have a look at the showProgress() and updateProgress() functions. Basically this is what you have to do: $x = new GtkWindow(); $y = new GtkProgressBar(); $y->set_orientation(Gtk::PROGRESS_LEFT_TO_RIGHT); $x->add($y); for(i=0;i<100;i++) { $y->set_fraction((float)($i/100.0)); } $x->show_all(); Gtk::main(); This is a progress bar that will run very fast (because of the for loop), but this is the basic idea. You must use the set_fraction() whenever you want to update the progress. As I said, see the code for Gtk2_PHPConfig for a proper realtime example. > I anxiously await the new (Pro PHP GTK book by Scott Mattocks) We all are! Release date is April 24th.
