Progressbar in splash while copying a file on program load.

Question

OK, here is the complete code for the Splashbar.pas, still have three progressbars, as I want to see what they look like before I choose one. It also includes some stuff that's disabled, as I can't get them to work.

    unit Splashbar;

    interface

    uses ExtActns, Windows, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Forms, Controls, StdCtrls,
      Buttons, ExtCtrls, AdvProgr, ComCtrls, NetAPI32, SHFolder, WinInet, ActnList,
      AdvSmoothSplashScreen, AdvSmoothProgressBar, AdvSmoothProgressBarReg,
      UTCT1b, GIFImg;

    type
      TSplashBar1 = class(TForm)
        Bevel1: TBevel;
        ProgressBar1: TProgressBar;
        AdvProgress1: TAdvProgress;
        Timer1: TTimer;
        Label1: TLabel;
        AdvSmoothProgressBar1: TAdvSmoothProgressBar;
        ActionList1: TActionList;
        DatabaseCopy: TAction;
        procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
        procedure DatabaseCopyExecute(Sender: TObject);
        procedure Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);

      private  { Private declarations }
    {    procedure URLOnDownloadProgress  (Sender: TDownLoadURL;
             Progress, ProgressMax: Cardinal;
             StatusCode: TURLDownloadStatus;
             StatusText: String; var Cancel: Boolean) ; }

      public   { Public declarations }
        procedure OpenSplash;
        procedure ShowProgress;
        procedure CloseSplash;
      end;
      var
          SplashBar1 : TSplashBar1;
          dirpath: string;
          Total: Integer;
          Percent: Integer;

    implementation


    {$R *.dfm}


    function GetSpecialFolderPath(folder : integer) : string;
     const
       SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT = 0;
     var

    sAppName := ExtractFileName(Application.ExeName);
    hSession := InternetOpen(PChar(sAppName),

      finally
       InternetCloseHandle(hURL)
      end
    finally

Answer 1

Did you include TSplashBar's unit in your .dpr file's 'uses' clause, and does it define a global SplashBar variable?

Answer 2

First error (W1056): Make sure that

{$R *.RES} is not entered twice in your dpr (Project|View Source)

Second error (H2077): Somewhere else in your code, can't help with it

Third error (W1019): You have to put

var
  X: integer

right after

procedure TSplashBar1.ShowProgress;

You seem to have defined X somewhere other than the procedure, which the loop control variable error is indicating.
