ProgressBar and vista??

Post by nkwinder » Fri Feb 27, 2009 9:29 pm

hello

i use vista, but i also have a laptop with xp.
i just made a progress bar (tried both wxProgressBar and wxGauge) and, noticed that setValue, or Update, doesn't work as it should be in vista. For example, if i enter a max value of 10000, and just make a simple update with a value of 5000 i see nothing! But it should go to the middle.

I tried the exact same thing in xp, and it worked perfectly, so can anyone confirm this... or maybe am i doing sth wrong?

thansk in advance

This is a Bug (or Want-To-Be-Feature) of Vista.

If you disable the Animations for Controls you get the expected result.

wow just tested it, and it worked! Thanks for that.

So is this really a bug of vista, or maybe widgets just don't implement it?
