Re-use progress bar that Dynamic Components use
-
When I have a Dynamic Component operation that takes a while a text progress bar shows up on the status bar.
Does anyone know how to incorporate that into ruby scripts. I know there is one on smustard but I think it pre-dates SU7. I thought maybe this is in the API for SketchUp 7 when dynamic components came out.

Nope, it is something Scott put in there on his own. It is not opened up in the API. Smustard's progressbar is the current best option.

Thanks Chris. I saw that, but for this project my client doesn't want to incorporate anything that we can't distribute directly with our software., which it looks like smustard's EULA doesn't allow for. Of course I can try to talk to Todd to get specific rights for it; I haven't done that.
I was hoping there was a way to access what was already in SU, but I guess not.

You could write your own. Its not terribly difficult. It is just a process of writing to the status bar area.

You can send out progressbar with your code, but tell your clients where you got it and to come to us for support.
