Q: [AppleScriptObjC] Progress Bar

Hi all,

 

In "native" Applescript there's a implementation of ProgressBar that's very handy but only displays as a window if the script is saved as an applet.

In Foundation framework, there's a class named NSProgress: https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/nsprogress?language=objc

This class seems to correspond exactly to the "native" fonction.

Is it usable to build a progress indicator window?

My aim is to have a script library to witch I can refer from a compiled or bundled script, as I do for alerts.

 

I'm able to make the NSProgress instance:

 

set aProgress to current application's NSProgress's progressWithTotalUnitCount:10
tell aProgress
  its setCompletedUnitCount:1
  its setLocalizedDescription:"Main description"
  its setLocalizedAdditionalDescription:"Additional Description"
end tell

 

Can someone help me to build the window?

 

TIA
