Nice but It's already been done :)

Plus other widgets of similar functionality like my Macintosh ProgressBar.


Also it has a bug - I copied and pasted your sample code and the bars run to
the left and disappear. Only one remains.

YUP. So, one is left with questions like did *I* make a mistake is trying to create a working example, or is there a real bug?


My two cents --
What most apps really need is a "non-blocking" threaded or IPC'd activity bar. This way when a routine is really taking a long time - we can popup the
bar just beforehand without having to worry about it not updating. Any
comments on how this could be done cross-platform?

Been thought about (at least here ;), but seemed like a lot of work, rather than just requiring, say, a few update() calls. That said, perhaps "we" should actually start such a project/widget *and* merge features of all the progress bars widgets ...

Ever wanted to display a rotating barber pole in your Tk app?
Me neither :)

But here's a Tk::BarberPole widget anyway. It should appear
on my CPAN directory soon:
