Progress bar

The Progress bar object displays a bar which can be used to indicate the progress of a long-running operation or goal.

A progress bar

The progress bar is styled differently depending on the platform or browser, designed to match the style of the system. If a custom style is desired, it may instead be preferable to use a Tiled Background which has its width set depending on the progress.

Scripting

When using JavaScript or TypeScript coding, the features of this object can be accessed via the IProgressBarInstance script interface.

Layering HTML objects

This object displays using a HTML element rather than drawing in to the canvas. This means its layering works differently to other objects. To learn more about how to layer HTML objects, see HTML layers.
