There are three intrinsic constants that can be used with the SysCmd method's action argument to manipulate the progress meter on the status bar. The following table describes them.
Intrinsic constant | Description |
---|---|
acSysCmdInitMeter | Initialize the progress meter. The maximum value that the process will attain is specifed in the SysCmd method's value argument. |
acSysCmdUpdateMeter | Update the progress meter. A numeric expression that represents the current progress toward completion is specified in the SysCmd method's value argument. |
