Hello everyone, I need some help. I'm trying to make something like wget (console downloader) but I don't know how to "increase" progress bar blocks. Here's how it should like:
Code:
[=======>             ] 50%
[====================>] 100%    

or something like that.. like wget has. Can anybody explain me how to do such thing ? I need only progress bar information, how to increase it or count things etc.. Thanks! Smile

You just keep redrawing the bar at periodic intervals to match the current status of the task. Depending upon how your program works you could use a timer to update the display.

a good approach also would be to use a worker thread.

Well, you can take a look at wget's progress code (its C, but easy enough to understand):
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/wget/trunk/annotate/head:/src/progress.c
Although wget's code seems a bit excessive for what it is.

Easiest way I can think of.. do:

(Downloaded Bytes / Total Size) * Progress Bar Length

That'll give you a value between 0 and Progress Bar Length (number of equals in the progress bar). Then just use that value in a loop to do:
Code:
for (x=0;x<val;x++){
  progress[val] = '=';
}
progress[val+1] = '>';
    


Probably not optimal.. but the idea should work. (Sorry about the C :))

Is your problem with rewriting in console display, or with watching status or downloading, or what?

Is this wget a new thing or am I just not up to date with the technology. The reason why I am asking is because I've seen people mentioning it in forums and I thought it might just be a new thing in town.

Is it ?

a progress bar is just a sort of cross product.

one side is the real data about what is progressing, let say, a counter and a size value.

the other side is the display of this cross product, inside a rectangle, as a simple horizontal or vertical line.

combinate both and you have the progress bar, you just have to redraw the rectangle that shows the progress.

to combinate, you will just divide the count by the size, and multiply by the size in pixels of the progress bar. in fact, you multiply the count by the size of progress bar, and divide by the maximal size to process; to don't loose resolution, because only count >= size will give result more than 0.

then:
Code:
count dd 30
max dd 235
bar:
.lengh dd 100
.cursor dd ?

mov eax,[count]
mul eax,[bar.lengh]
cdq 
div [max]
mov [bar.cursor],eax
    

after this little calculation, you just have to use the datas to display as you like.

Sorry, I don't understand C Sad but I though same technique Smile
Code:
(DownloadBytes / FileSize)*100    
like percentages. if it will 1%, then it will raise block with 1 and so on.. If I'm thinking correctly.
typedef
It's like Unix based systems download manager or something like that. (Also available on windows too.)

My problem is how to count bytes or progress, therefore, I can increase progress with result. I need just know how to get file size even if I haven't downloaded it yet.. I'm using winsock. Thanks Smile

Personally I prefear more the apps console when they write a lot of stuff smothing like:
Code:
wget starting
initialiating connection
connecting with server
starting download http:/www.xxxxxx.com/xxxxxx.xxx
creating connection 1/4
Downloaded 5%
creating connection 2/4
Downloaded 10%
creating connection 3/4
creating connection 4/4 fail: connections limit
Downloaded 20%
Downloaded 30%
Downloaded 40%
Downloaded 70%
File downloaded succesfully
    

Black background, green font and of course, every time you write a character, there should be a nasty BIP sound.
This way 1t l00ks l1k3 real h4k3rZ!

hahaha

(2*DownloadedBytes*MaximalBarLength +FileSize) div (2*FileSize) will give you the length of the "processed" part of the bar, rounded properly.

for getting the filesize, you should read the proper HTTP response.
CONTENT-LENGTH

I have the progress bar sample code (translated from BCX). Unfortunately, it's in C, but I think you can get the general idea.

Source + binary attached.


Description:

Filename: progbar.zip
Filesize: 9.2 KB

I usually avoid divisions and in this case I would make the progress bar a
multiple of 2 i.e. 64. That way your div becomes shr 6. There are even samples out there to divide by 80 (the console width) without using div instruction.

You have to divide to the size_of_the_whole, not the length of the progress bar. See the above formulas.
You can try to use subtraction instead of division (like in Bresenham's algorithm), but it will work only on incremental progress.
