#IndeterminateProgress

IndeterminateProgress makes a Unity ProgressBar show a bar that runs from the left to the right again and again. Use it for work of unknown length, as ProgressRing with indeterminate.

How to make a progress bar indeterminate:

<ui:ProgressBar name="loading" title="Loading…" />

var loading = root.Q<ProgressBar>("loading");
IndeterminateProgress.Set(loading, true);

// The length is known now: show the value again
IndeterminateProgress.Set(loading, false);
loading.value = 40;

• The moving bar takes 1.4 s for one run. It starts outside the left end and leaves at the right end.
• The fill of the value is hidden while the bar moves. The value and the title stay, and the title draws over the moving bar.
• The move runs on the element scheduler, so it stops while the progress bar is off the panel.
• The class alone does not move the bar: USS has no animation. Call Set also for a bar that has the class in UXML.
• It works with each AbstractProgressBar, in and outside an Workspace.

Tips:

• Use it when you cannot give a percent, such as a wait for a server. Change to the value when you know the length.
• For a small busy sign in a row or a button, use a ProgressRing.

#Styling

To make the moving bar short and green:

.tb-progress-bar__runner { width: 15%; background-color: var(--tb-color-success); }
