Hello Everyone,

I am trying to create an animated progress bar in C++. Can anybody please shed some light on how this could be done.

Many Thanks,

Hmm.. didn't my latest display of such a solution give you any idear ??
The theory in it, is to dislay the percentage as beeing:
(<amount done>*100)/<total amount>
The question on how to be certain how much the total amount is, thats a good one, if it's reading from a file you could probably find a clever way of guessing it from some combination of tellg() and seekg(). Something which theoreticaly might sound like:

1) open file
2) start = tellg()
3) seekg(0, ois::end)
4) end = tellg()
5) seekg(0, ios::beg)
6) while(!eof)
        read input from file
        cur = tellg();
        percent = ((cur - start)*100/(end - start)); 
        display_percentage(percent);
         do stuff with input
7) close file.
