File.copy progress bar

[chatsalot7777]

Hi! I'm working on a file transfer program.

I can use the file class, but I have no idea how I may be able to make a progress bar in the copying process. So basically my solution was making a new file and then using FileStream for copying in order to make a progress bar.

Does anyone have a better solution?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, this way should work. In the copying loop, you may call the processMsg method to update the progress bar:

import SWFKit.*;
var fs = new FileStream(...);
...
while (...) {
    if (!Global.processMsg())  break;
    ...
    fs.write(...);
    ...
}

An alternative is to call the SHFileOperation function of Windows Shell. It will display a progress bar as you copy files in the Windows Explorer.
