Spinner Control

[fearless]

A spinner control. Source code and 2 examples included.




Add the following to your project:

Code Select Expand

include Spinner.inc
includelib Spinner.lib

The spinner is comprised of a number of images, that when incremented via a timer, step to the next image. Add each spinner step to the control before enabling it. For example:

Code Select Expand

; Call to create and initialize spinner control
Invoke SpinnerControlCreate, hWin, 125, 86, 32, 32
mov hSpinner1, eax
       
; Add spinner step images to your newly created control
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 101
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 102
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 103
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 104
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 105
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 106
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 107
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, 108
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SpinnerAddStepImage, hSpinner1, hBitmap


Enable (start & show) or disable (stop & hide) the spinner control with SpinnerEnable or SpinnerDisable.

All spinners where generated from http://www.ajaxload.info, saved as a gif and each frame extracted to a bmp. See that site for more examples of types of spinners that can be generated.
