Re: GtkProgressBar Example

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I sincerely apology if the tone of my question seems offensive or "a bit harsh". I can assure you it was never intended to come across that way. I was simply asking for help. I am very new to PHP programming and GTK2. I am having fun with PHP-GTK2 and hope it continues to GROW. I really appreciate all the work you guys are doing to bring this development platform to us. The coding example you provided helped a lot. Also the Gtk2_PHPConfig was of great help. The key for me in getting the ProgressBar to update and display correctly was the following code. while (Gtk::events_pending()) { Gtk::main_iteration(); } along with the hint for the following coding line. $y->set_fraction((float)($i/100.0)); The code I copied from the manual must be for GTK1. I will be more careful in the future.
