The iwidgets::feedback command creates a widget to display feedback on the current status of an ongoing operation to the user. Display is given as a percentage and as a thermometer type bar. Options exist for adding a label and controlling its position. METHODS
The iwidgets::feedback command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the com- mand. The following commands are possible for scrolledtext widgets: WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the scrolled- html command. pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwidgets::feedback command. pathName reset Reset the current number of steps completed to 0, and configures the percentage complete label text to 0% pathName step ?inc? Increase the current number of steps completed by the amount specified by inc. Inc defaults to 1. EXAMPLE
package require Iwidgets 4.0 iwidgets::feedback .fb -labeltext "Status" -steps 20 pack .fb -padx 10 -pady 10 -fill both -expand yes for {set i 0} {$i < 20} {incr i} { .fb step after 500 } ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
