Title: Progress bar for downloading
Post by: xra7en on May 16, 2021, 07:38:46 am: I thought it better to start a new thread for a different topic, although it is related to my other thread
https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=3910.0

If I switch to the API method for downloading a file, is there a way to add a progress bar? sitting with a blank screen is no fun.
Currently I am using CURL for my app. But the API shown in the thread above actually works better.

Thanks
