Progress Bar

[Agnes]

As I remember , someone posted the question "As the query is process/ the
form is loading",How can we show the progress bar ???

The user input a searchkey , it takes several minutes to query result. How
can I show the progress bar ?
Does anyone know how to do that ??

It's very hard to make a progressbar that will be acurate since you will
have no idea of how much time the search will actually take. In a situation
like that I guess just something showing a loop or just a text
"Searching..." would be more acurate to do...

Let's say you have a search adn it will go thru 10 rows.. then it's easy to
set the maximum value of a Progressbar to 10 and the step to 1 and then just
add one block for each loop.. but if you have no idea how many rows it will
go thru,. then what will the maximum value be?

I'm sure there are some really creepingly smart guys out there who would fix
this anyway but I can only say it's hard!

Agnes,

In addition to Lars,

Mostly is used for this an Avi.
What you can do to show some progress is not waiting till the end with
giving results however give the result when founded, see for that explorer.

Just to give some ideas
