Progress Bar for a Script run from a Diagram

[djdejong]

Hey!

Does anyone know how to implement a progress bar that displays a script's progress as it's running? 

I have a script that analyzes diagrams, and I want to update the user of its progress as it's running -- but I'm not super keen on using the annoying message boxes. I was hoping there's something more elegant, such as a progress bar that gives info as the script is executing.

Thanks!

I don't think that this is possible right now. Sounds like a useful feature, though.

You can create an ActiveX object that includes a progress control, and update it from your script.

The only problem is that you need to either find one pre-implemented or make one.

We use Session.Output to write to the output window.  Since the script is single threaded, there's nothing much else the user can do; so providing progress text in the output window works well for us.
