PROGRESS — Visual progress indicator.

Synopsis

PROGRESS BOUNCE progressbar_widget_name { STEP step_ref | UPDATE }

PROGRESS FRACTION progressbar_widget_name VALUE fraction_ref

PROGRESS LABEL progressbar_widget_name VALUE data_ref [data_ref...]

Introduction

The PROGRESS command instructs the progress bar screen widget to provide a visual clue towards the user that some (long running) 4GL logic is being executed. It can be used in a percentage (FRACTION) and an activity (BOUNCE) mode.

Arguments

`step_ref`	Any data reference or numeric value between 0.00 and 1.00. Every time an UPDATE is triggered, the bouncing block in in the progress bar will move with this fraction.
`fraction_ref`	Any data reference or numeric value between 0.00 and 1.00. Every time an FRACTION is triggered, the progress bar will fill this fraction of the bar.
`data_ref`	Any single data reference, including hard coded strings and numeric values to be displayed in the progress bar.
