Hi PorscheWen -

Could you go into a bit more detail here on what you are looking for? Where are you looking to show the progress? For example - are you looking to time the process of copying files?

Thanks,
Emma

Hi,  

Because I do copyfile, it may take 5 mins to do so.  I need a progress bar or time countdown to know how long would it take. 

Thanks

      Hi ebarbera

       

      I use  aqFileSystem.CopyFolder method. However, it would not show copy progress/ time. I wonder is there any way to reveal copy progress(ex.70%)  /time (ex. 4 mins 30 sec  left). 

      You mean I could launch waitproperty at same time to see copy file exists or not ?

       

      Thanks

        Hi,

         

        > I wonder is there any way to reveal copy progress

        Nothing that I am aware of in TestComplete out of the box. (Also, who will care about animation when code is executed unattended during scheduled run? 😉 )

         

        Something from this might help:

        Some ideas (with command line or batch file) are quite interesting...
