    Get the Progress of URLDownloadtoFile

    I am making an update feature for my program. I am using the API URLDownloadtoFile to download the file I need downloaded. I was wondering, how could I possibly get the progress of the file being downloaded?

    I don't think you can using the URLDownloadtoFile API.

    Try the Inet control with progress bar

    I knew I could do that, but unfortunately inet is slower than the API. I know there is a way to do it, but the only way I know of adds a couple hundred KB to your program.

    Re: Get the Progress of URLDownloadtoFile

    this is one of the parameters urldownloadtofile

    from allapi
    · lpfnCB
    Address of the caller's IBindStatusCallback interface. URLDownloadToFile calls this interface's IBindStatusCallback::OnProgress method on a connection activity, including the arrival of data. IBindStatusCallback::OnDataAvailable is never called. Implementing IBindStatusCallback::OnProgress allows a caller to implement a user interface or other progress monitoring functionality. It also allows the download operation to be canceled by returning E_ABORT from the IBindStatusCallback::OnProgress call. This can be set to NULL.
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
