Custom Busy Light( )?

Hello jmp community,

 

First of all, let me wish you a great new year!

 

I am currently working on a project and want to use something similar to busy light() function but with a custom animated gif.

The only way I find to animated a gif in a New Window() is to use this block of jsl  by incrementing the gif frame by frame.

 

spinner = New Image( gifpath || "\spinner.gif" );nbFrame = spinner << Get N Frames();[...]For( i = 0, i < nbFrame, i++,
  spinner << Set Current Frame( i );
  nwStatus << reshow();
  wait(3/100);
  if(i == nbFrame, i = 0;);
);

Is there another way to do it? Because this does not work independently of the main calculation script.

Is there a way to custom the busy light()?

 

Thanks

Regards,

Guillaume

Hello @guillaumebugnon ,

I think another possible way to show an animated gif in a new window, you can use Web Browser Box() function.
Here is a sample script to do this. In this script, you need to create html file, which is embedded gif animation.

nw = New Window( "Example",
	<<Show Menu( 0 ),
	<<show toolbars( 0 ),
	V List Box( Text Box( "Please Wait!" ), Spacer Box( size( 20, 20 ) ), wb = Web Browser Box() )
);
wb << Navigate( "file:///C:/xxxx/xxxx/test.html" );
nw << Set Window Size( 200, 200 );

//test
Wait( 5 );
nw << close window();

Here is an example of an html file.

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <div style="text-align: center">
      <img src="./spinner.gif"  width="50" />
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Hello @yuichi_katsumur,

That's a very good idea. I'll try that, it should work.
