No progress indicator

[vchekan]

When starting long running action (update for example), there is no progress indicator. In result, it is easy to start working with the code while modifications are not finished yet.

I think VS has some api to indicate a process is in progress, something like "build" action, which shows an animated icon in the status bar.

@mrinaldi could we somehow reuse the process bar from your restore feature? On Sep 18, 2015 12:58 AM, "Vadim Chekan" [email protected] wrote:

The progress bar from restore feature is a dialog, not the progress indicator in status bar as @vchekan mentions.

Either way, it's not hard to use any of them. However, I'm not sure how you'd know the progress of update, therefore I'm guessing you'd have to use a marquee progress bar - or the idea is to have the animated icon only?

That said, I believe you can't have a marquee progress in the status bar, but you can in the dialog.

How do you think that should work?

I would say just the fact that operation is in progress should be shown. The same way, as "[Re]build" operation shows its icon in the status bar. If somebody wants details, they are in "Output" window.
