Setting properties for progressbar #47

Open hoppfrosch opened 12 years ago

hoppfrosch commented 12 years ago

Setting properties for progressbar should be either be

allowed
or properly disabled (error or hint in case of being set by mistake ...)

The current behaviour of progressbar with not working makes it very difficult to find out the error source... (as NO hint is given yet)

This issue is a followup of https://github.com/ChrisS85/CGUI/issues/46

I'm not sure about it, as AHK shows the same behavior. Style values are not something that is targeted towards beginners, because you need to look up the values on MSDN or maybe even in header files. They are supported because it is easy to implement and provides additional features for advanced users. For other, easier to use customizations there are named properties. I suspect that some of them might also be still buggy, but this is the way to go.

I'm (not completly - but nearly) fine with the current behaviour - I just wanted to see this library as noob friendly as it should be. It deserves to have a broader usage as it has now, but I think therefore it should be as comfortable as poosible ... My opinion: even if AHK itself shows the current behaviour, a derived library needn't to show it also ...
