how do i make a fake progress bar in VBscript - vbscript

Question

how do I make a fake progress bar in VBScript?
I want to make a program that pretends it is downloading things.
I want to make it realistic by adding a moving progress bar, how do I do it, if it is possible?

Answer 1

Here is an example that can create a HTA ProgressBar while you download a file from internet :

Answer 2

You can use this code:
set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
sub start()
do while valeur < 101
valeur = valeur + 1
refresh
wait 1
loop
msgbox "Loading completed!"
end sub
Sub wait (Timesec)
objShell.Run "Timeout /T " & Timesec & " /nobreak" ,0 ,true
End Sub
sub refresh()
document.getelementbyid("chargement").style.width = valeur&"%"
end sub
This code use CSS:
#barreComp
{
width:300px;
height:30px;
border: 2px solid #00cc00;
}
#chargement
{
width:1%;
height:100%;
background-color:#00cc00;
}
chargement (it mean loading) is a div inside barreComp (completebar).
When the width of chargement is to 50%, it show a half filled rectangle.
Do you understand what I mean?
