Progressbar (SUI)

A horizontal bar with an indicator that shows the progress of an operation.

All progressbar controls have a horizontal orientation. The value property contains the current position of the progress indicator; the default is 0. There is a minvalue property, but it is always 0; attempts to set it to a different value are silently ignored.

Property Listing

Property	Type	Access	Description
alignment	String	read/write	The alignment style for this element. If defined, this value overrides the alignChildren setting for the parent container. This can be a single string, which indicates the alignment for the orientation specified in the parent container, or an array of two strings, indicating both the horizontal and vertical alignment (in that order). Allowed values depend on the orientation value of the parent container. They are not case sensitive. For orientation=row:top, bottom, fill For orientation=column: left, right, fill For orientation=stack:top, bottom, left, right, fill
bounds	Bounds (SUI)	read/write	The boundaries of the element, in parent-relative coordinates. Setting an element's size or location changes its bounds property, and vice-versa.
children	Array of Object	readonly	An array of child elements.
enabled	Boolean	read/write	True if this element is enabled. An enabled element can accept input, according to its type. When false, control elements do not accept input, and all types of elements have a dimmed appearance.
graphics	ScriptUIGraphics (SUI)	readonly	The graphics object that can be used to customize the element's appearance, in response to the onDraw() event.
helpTip	String	read/write	The help text that is displayed when the mouse hovers over the element.
indent	Number	read/write	The number of pixels to indent the element during automatic layout. Applies for column orientation and left alignment, or row orientation and top alignment.
location	Point (SUI)	read/write	The upper left corner of this element relative to its parent. The location is defined as [bounds.x, bounds.y]. Setting an element's location changes its bounds property, and vice-versa.
maximumSize	Dimension (SUI)	read/write	The maximum height and width to which the element can be resized.
maxvalue	Number	read/write	The maximum value in the range. Default is 100.
minimumSize	Dimension (SUI)	read/write	The minimum height and width to which the element can be resized.
minvalue	Number	read/write	The minimum value in the range; always 0. If set to a different value, it is ignored.
parent		readonly	The parent element.
preferredSize	Dimension (SUI)	read/write	The preferred size, used by layout managers to determine the best size for each element. If not explicitly set by a script, value is established by the UI framework in which ScriptUI is employed, and is based on such attributes of the element as its text, font, font size, icon size, and other UI framework-specific attributes.A script can explicitly set this value before the layout manager is invoked in order to establish an element size other than the default.
properties	Object	read/write	An object that contains one or more creation properties of the container (properties used only when the element is created). A ProgressBar object has no creation properties. The third argument of the add() method that creates it is the initial value (default 0), and the fourth argument is the maximum value of the range (default 100).
size	Dimension (SUI)	read/write	The current dimensions of this element. Initially undefined, and unless explicitly set by a script, it is defined by a LayoutManager . A script can explicitly set size before the layout manager is invoked to establish an element size other than the preferredSize or the default size, but this is not recommended. Defined as [bounds.width, bounds.height]. Setting an element's size changes its bounds property, and vice-versa.
type	String	readonly	The element type, "progessbar".
value	Number	read/write	The current position of the indicator. If set to a value outside the range specified by 0 to maxvalue, it is automatically reset to the closest boundary.
visible	Boolean	read/write	True if this element is shown, false if it is hidden. When a container is hidden, its children are also hidden, but they retain their own visibility values, and are shown or hidden accordingly when the parent is next shown.
window	Window (SUI)	readonly	The window that this element belongs to.
windowBounds	Bounds (SUI)	readonly	The bounds of this element relative to the top-level parent window.

Method Listing

Boolean addEventListener (eventName:String, handler:Function, capturePhase:Boolean=Boolean)

Registers an event handler for a particular type of event occuring in this element.

Parameter	Type	Description
eventName	String	The name of the event. Event names are listed in the JavaScript Tools Guide.
handler	Function	The function that handles the event. This can be the name of a function defined in the extension, or a locally defined handler function to be executed when the event occurs. A handler function takes one argument, the UIEvent object.
capturePhase	Boolean	When true, the handler is called only in the capturing phase of the event propagation. Default is false, meaning that the handler is called in the bubbling phase if this object is an ancestor of the target, or in the at-target phase if this object is itself the target. (default: false)

Parameter

Type

Description

eventName

String

The name of the event.

Event names are listed in the JavaScript Tools Guide.

handler

Function

The function that handles the event.

This can be the name of a function defined in the extension, or a locally defined handler function to be executed when the event occurs. A handler function takes one argument, the UIEvent object.

capturePhase

Boolean

When true, the handler is called only in the capturing phase of the event propagation.

Default is false, meaning that the handler is called in the bubbling phase if this object is an ancestor of the target, or in the at-target phase if this object is itself the target.

(default: false)

Event (SUI) dispatchEvent ()

Simulates the occurrence of an event in this target.

A script can create a UIEvent object for a specific event and pass it to this method to start the event propagation for the event.

undefined hide ()

Hides this element.

undefined onDraw ()

An event-handler callback function, called when the window is about to be drawn.

Allows the script to modify or control the appearance, using the control’s associated ScriptUIGraphics object. Handler takes one argument, a DrawState object.

Boolean removeEventListener (eventName:String, handler:Function, capturePhase:Boolean=Boolean)

Unregisters an event handler for a particular type of event occuring in this element.

All arguments must be identical to those that were used to register the event handler.

Parameter	Type	Description
eventName	String	The name of the event.
handler	Function	The function that handles the event.
capturePhase	Boolean	Whether to call the handler only in the capturing phase of the event propagation. (default: false)
