OnProgress Event  
 

The OnProgress event is generated during data transfer.

Syntax

Sub object_OnProgress ( [Index As Integer], ByVal Article As Variant, ByVal ArticleSize As Variant, ByVal ArticleCopied As Variant, ByVal Percent As Variant )

Remarks

The OnProgress event is generated during the transfer of data between the client and server, indicating the amount of data exchanged. For transfers of large amounts of data, this event can be used to update a progress bar or other user-interface control to provide the user with some visual feedback. The arguments to this event are:

Article
An integer value which specifies the number of the article being retrieved. If an article is being posted, this argument will have a value of zero.
ArticleSize
The size of the article being transferred in bytes.
ArticleCopied
The number of bytes that have been transferred between the client and server.
Percent
The percentage of data that's been transferred, expressed as an integer value between 0 and 100, inclusive. If the size of the file on the server cannot be determined, this value will always be 100.

Note that this event is only generated when a news article is transferred using the GetArticle or PostArticle methods. If the client is reading or writing the file data directly to the server using the Read or Write methods then the application is responsible for calculating the completion percentage and updating any user interface controls.
