Hello everyone.
I am trying to use the progress meter to show the status of an application installation from within APMS 5. All I want is for the meter to show the progress of the installation. I have spent the better part of this morning searching the forum reading any and everything about the progress meter plugin including the help file. What I want to do is simple but yet a bit complicted for me because of my lack of skills and understaning of program language. I am trying but it is a slow process.
What I think is needed for me and many others out there is some instructions with all the plugins, that could hand hold me through the process one time. (Traning Video?) A simple cut and paste of the basics or example. Once I see it I can usualy grasp it. The help file online touched on alot of variables which confused me more that anything. I think what is needed is how to link the bar with the app and then how to program the bar to show the progress of the installation.
A post by Jimbo02112 on Feb 2004 was right on and Bretts reply had some excellent links.(I have searched them all) Problem is there was no end result as to how to get the meter to work or if it was actually made to work. To say the least I am green but I am trying. Thanks for listening and being patient with my ramble. I hope someone can help, suggest, point me or recommend. You always do!
Good Day,
Mike
