HourglassNetwork (Function)

In french: SablierRéseau

Warning
From version 2024, this function is no longer available:

in iOS,
under Android version 14 and higher.

Displays or hides an endless progress bar:

in the status bar of an iOS application.
in the title bar of windows found in an Android application.

Example

// Affichage de la jauge
HourglassNetwork(True)
// Traitement
...
Multitask(-1)
...
// Masquage de la jauge
HourglassNetwork(False)

Syntax

HourglassNetwork(<Activation>)

<Activation>: Boolean

True to enable the endless progress bar,
True to hide the endless progress bar.

Remarks

Operating mode in Android

If HourglassNetwork is called with the activation parameter set to True, the infinite progress bar will be displayed in the title bar (or ActionBar) of all open windows of the application as well as all the windows opened afterwards, until HourglassNetwork is called again with the activation parameter set to False.

Remarks:

When running long processes, we advise you to add calls to Multitask in the code in order to give time to the progress bar to refresh its display.
You can also use HourGlass. In this case, the endless progress bar is displayed in a specific window.
The display of progress bars in the ActionBar using the Material Design them is not supported by the system. HourglassNetwork will have no effect if the window contains an ActionBar control and if the "Apply Material design theme to native controls and to Info/Error/Dialog windows" option has been checked in the Android configuration options.
