This is a plugin which will allow you to create a ProgressEx control upon a AMS window. ProgressEx is a new control, originally developed for PureBasic as a class, however we decided to release it as AMS plugin and not keep it a personal control, which was intended first.

The full version 1,2,0,0 is now online, and ready for use in any project. A big thanks to all the people who helped testing this plugin and reporting any bug there was, including documentation related mishaps.

ProgressEx is a new control, and ported to AMS as an Action Plugin. This means it will need a host for it to stay in, like an Input object or a Progress object. ProgressEx is an extended graphical progressbar with some nice features, like gradient colors, custom colors for:

• Background
• Background Border
• Text
• Text border (2 types)
• Bar border
• Solid bar color, instead of the gradient colors
• Optional glossy effect on the bar

It now also supports an Icon to be set for the ProgressEx bar, the icon will show up on the far-left side of the bar, and can be dynamically changed like everything in the ProgressEx control. The icon could be used, for example, to show a graphical indicator of what the application is currently doing.

The method used for loading/releasing/setting images is similar to the method used in ListIcon, however the helpfile explains everything if you still come across problems.

Check the screenshots for some nice bars ready made.

A full documentation has been included in the Zipfile, read it well before trying things out. Also a L-OOP model has been included in the plugin, allowing the user to call ProgressEx functions as methods. You need the CreateEx function for this, which is also included.

This plugin only works with Autoplay Media Studio 8.0. Furthermore this plugin works on all x86 and x64 systems with an OS later than Windows 2000
