Loading Bar

[DailyLlama]

Hi! Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to make a loading bar function within a set range, say 0 - 1 whilst say a sample is loading in to the VST, is this even possible?

i've seen some set to timers and built one of those myself, but when i link it up to the loading callback it just counts until the file is finished loading, giving me values of 60 or 140% complete.

Here's my code if anyone's interested :)

//PROGRESS PANEL

const var pnlProgress = Content.getComponent("pnlProgress");
pnlProgress.setValue(0);






//PAINT ROUTINE
pnlProgress.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
      g.fillAll(C);
      
      var a = [this.getWidth() / 2 - 400 / 2, this.getHeight() / 2 - 20 / 2, 400, 20];
      
      g.setColour(0x005995C9);
      g.fillRoundedRectangle(a, 5);
      
      
      var v = this.getValue() / 10;
      g.setColour(Colours.white);
      g.fillRoundedRectangle([a[0], a[1], a[2] * v , a[3]], 5);
   
  	  v < 0.1 ? g.setColour(Colours.transparentWhite) : g.setColour(Colours.black);
 	  g.drawAlignedText(v * 100 + "%", a, "centred");
 	  
 	  });

var preloading;


pnlProgress.setTimerCallback(function()
{
    	var v = (this.getValueNormalized()+1);
    	Console.print(v);
    	this.setValue(v);
    	this.repaint();
});

pnlProgress.setLoadingCallback(function(isPreloading)
{		
	if(isPreloading ){			
		preloading = 1;
		Console.print(preloading);
		pnlProgress.startTimer(200);
		
		
	}else{
		preloading = 0;
		Console.print(preloading);
		pnlProgress.setValue(0);
		pnlProgress.stopTimer();
		
	}

});

Please help!

@d-healey Thanks! this is great but it still has the same issue, it doesn't get to 100% each time, is there no way to normalise this and have each sample make the bar hit 100% once it's finished loading?

Maybe you've found a bug, as far as I know Engine.getPreloadProgress() should always return a value between 0 and 1.
