The document provides examples of using the QProgressBar and QTimer classes in Qt to create an animated progress bar. It defines a window with a label to display the time, a timer that updates every second, and a progress bar that is incremented by 10% each time the timer triggers. The timer calls the pTime() function, which updates the label and progress bar values.

1. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
55.30 Using QProgressBar and Timer
In this example we will learn about using the “animated” QProgressBar class and Timer
###------------------------------------
### ProgressBar and Timer Example
Load "guilib.ring"
new qApp
{
win1 = new qwidget()
{
setgeometry(100,100,400,100)
setwindowtitle("Timer and ProgressBar")
LabelMan = new qlabel(win1)
{
setgeometry(10,10,200,30)
settext(theTime()) ### ==>> func
}
TimerMan = new qtimer(win1)
{
setinterval(1000)
settimeoutevent("pTime()") ### ==>> func
start()
}
BarMan = new qprogressbar(win1)
{
setGeometry(100,50,300,10) ### Position X y, Length, Thickness
setvalue(0) ### Percent filled
}
show()
}
exec()
}
func pTime
LabelMan.settext(theTime()) ### ==>> func
Increment = 10
if BarMan.value() >= 100 ### ProgressBar start over.
BarMan.setvalue(0)
ok
BarMan{ setvalue(value() + Increment) }

2. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
Func theTime
return "Time : " + Time()
55.31 Display Scaled Image using QLabel
In this example we will learn about displaying and scaling an image so that it looks “animated” using the QLabel
widget
Load "guilib.ring"
#----------------------------------------------------
# REQUIRES: image = "C:RINGbinstock.jpg"
# imageStock: start dimensions for growing image
imageW = 200 ; imageH = 200 ; GrowBy = 4
###----------------------------------------------------
### Window and Box Size dimensions
WinWidth = 1280 ; WinHeight = 960
BoxWidth = WinWidth -80 ; BoxHeight = WinHeight -80
###----------------------------------------------------
New qapp {
win1 = new qwidget() {
setgeometry(50,50, WinWidth,WinHeight)
setwindowtitle("Animated Image - Display Image Scaled and Resized")
imageStock = new qlabel(win1) {
image = new qpixmap("C:RINGbinstock.jpg")
AspectRatio = image.width() / image.height()
imageW = 200
imageH = imageH / AspectRatio
### Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform
setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))
PosLeft = (BoxWidth - imageW ) / 2
PosTop = (BoxHeight - imageH ) / 2
55.31. Display Scaled Image using QLabel 576

3. Ring Documentation, Release 1.5.1
setGeometry(PosLeft,PosTop,imageW,imageH)
}
TimerMan = new qtimer(win1) {
setinterval(100) ### interval 100 millisecs.
settimeoutevent("pTime()") ### ==>> func
start()
}
show()
}
exec()
}
###------------------------------------------------------
### Fuction TimerMan: calling interval 100 milliseconds
func pTime
### Stop Timer when image is size of Window area
if imageW > BoxWidth
TimerMan.stop()
imageStock.clear() ### Will clear the image
ok
### Grow image
imageW += GrowBy
imageH = imageW / AspectRatio
### Scaled Image: Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform
imageStock.setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))
### Center the image
PosLeft = (WinWidth - imageW ) / 2
PosTop = (WinHeight - imageH ) / 2
imageStock.setGeometry(PosLeft,PosTop,imageW,imageH)
55.32 Using the QFileDialog Class
