Here is a simple one I found that you can modify: 
 
&nbsp;ProgressOn(&quot;Progress Bar&quot;, &quot;Sample progress bar&quot;, &quot;Working...&quot;) 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;For $i = 0 To 100 
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ProgressSet($i) 
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sleep(5) 
&nbsp;Next 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;ProgressSet(100, &quot;Done!&quot;) 
&nbsp;Sleep(750) 
&nbsp;ProgressOff() 
 
 
Not sure I understand your start and goal numbers. Do you mean you want to increment another 245? Or go down from 300 to 245? Your division would give you a very small number. Perhaps you could explain a bit more.

<div>
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-40525503-1">ProgressOn (&quot;Progress bar&quot;, &quot;Start and Goal&quot;, &quot;Working...&quot;)
$start = inputbox (&quot;start value&quot;,&quot;enter value&quot;)
$goal = inputbox (&quot;goal value&quot;, enter value&quot;)
$percentcomplete = ($g/$c) [b]* 100[/b]
ProgressSet($percentcomplete)
 ProgressSet(100, &quot;Done!&quot;)
</code></pre>
 
it needs a percentage which is (current value/ max value) * 100

I'm trying to do something like this then I can fix the graphical part of it. &nbsp; 
the math just isn't clicking for me. 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-40525511-1">$c = InputBox(&quot;Start Weight&quot;, &quot;Enter current Weight&quot;)
$g = InputBox(&quot;Goal Weight&quot;, &quot;Enter Goal Weight&quot;)

 $TotalPoundstoLoose = $c * .04 ;Four percent of the weight needed to loose in terms of pounds
 MsgBox(0,&quot;total&quot;,$TotalPoundstoLoose) ; used for testing
 $Lost = $c - $g ; amount of wait currently lost
 $percent = $lost/$TotalPoundstoLoose ; percentage out of 100 for ticker/progress bar
 MsgBox(0,&quot;lost&quot;,$lost); used for testing
 
	MsgBox(0,&quot;Percent&quot;, $percent); used for testing
	$value = $Lost * 100 ; percentage converted to 100 for ticker
	ProgressOn(&quot;Progress Bar&quot;, &quot;Sample progress bar&quot;, &quot;Working...&quot;)
 ProgressSet($value)
 	Sleep(750)


 ;ProgressSet(100, &quot;Done!&quot;)
 Sleep(750)
 ProgressOff()
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
Basically what I'm trying to do is make it where lets say I weigh 280 
I want to loose 4 percent of that weight which is 11.2 pounds 
 
I want the percentage to reflect how close I am to that goal 
Basically a weight loss ticker. 
thanks!

Since you're very new to this, you may want to consider a similar language called AutoHotkey. I think it is better than AutoIT, although there are certainly folks who think the opposite. But if you're not already wedded to AutoIT, take a look at AutoHotkey (also free, of course). There have been many forks of the <a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/" rel="ugc">original language</a> and recently a <a href="http://ahkscript.org/" rel="ugc">new community</a> was established to move the language forward. The latest release at the new community has a <a href="http://ahkscript.org/download/ahk-install.exe" rel="ugc">Windows installer</a>, an <a href="http://ahkscript.org/download/1.1/AutoHotkeyHelp.zip" rel="ugc">offline help file</a>, and a <a href="http://ahkscript.org/download/ahk2exe.zip" rel="ugc">compiler</a> that turns the AHK source code (plain text) into a stand-alone/no-install executable (an EXE file). 
 
There is excellent documentation: 
<a href="http://ahkscript.org/docs/AutoHotkey.htm" rel="ugc">http://ahkscript.org/docs/AutoHotkey.htm</a> 
 
...including an alphabetical command and function index: 
<a href="http://ahkscript.org/docs/commands/index.htm" rel="ugc">http://ahkscript.org/docs/commands/index.htm</a> 
 
...a good tutorial: 
<a href="http://ahkscript.org/docs/Tutorial.htm" rel="ugc">http://ahkscript.org/docs/Tutorial.htm</a> 
 
...and an active user forum: 
<a href="http://ahkscript.org/boards/" rel="ugc">http://ahkscript.org/boards/</a> 
 
If you'd like to see AutoHotkey in full programs, here are a few EE articles that I've written with source code:

In terms of the progress bar, here are two lines of code from one of those articles that will do it: 
 
barprogress:=100*(A_Index/numfiles) 
Progress,%barprogress%,%A_LoopField%,Processing,Combining 
 
The complete syntax for the Progress command is: 
 
Progress, ProgressParam1 [, SubText, MainText, WinTitle, FontName] 
 
Also, here's the command to turn off the progress bar: 
 
Progress,Off

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
How would I make what I would think is a simple progress bar? 
What I want is to enter a start number say 300 and then a goal number say 245 and it show the number and percentage mark. 
 
I was thinking something like 

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-10-28588969-1">ProgressOn (&quot;Progress bar&quot;, &quot;Start and Goal&quot;, &quot;Working...&quot;)
$start = inputbox (&quot;start value&quot;,&quot;enter value&quot;)
$goal = inputbox (&quot;goal value&quot;, enter value&quot;)

$percentcomplete = $g/$c

ProgressSet($percentcomplete)

I'm very new to this. Thanks!

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
