Text display with Progress Bar

yanoff

I love how easy it is to add a RealtiveProgressBar to my python scripts. When KL is running a long DRC check it displays a nice text box with a running list of the tasks completed. Is it possible to replicate this behavior from a script? Or do I have to create a stand-alone dialog box using Qt?

@yanoff The DRC system is itself a script, so that is possible.

The key is "AbstractProgress" which is a progress reporter without a value but while it is active, log messages will be collected and sent to the progress report area.

Here is some code:

# while "progress" is alive, log messages are sent to the progress report area:
progress = pya.AbstractProgress("A test")

for i in range(0, 10000000):
  if i % 10000 == 0:
    pya.Logger.info("i is " + str(i))

# stop showing log messages (they are still shown in the log viewer)
progress = None

While trying that I noticed that the "Cancel" button does not have an effect. I will try to debug that problem.

Very cool! I'll try this out when I have a chance.
