Use the Production Progress control

The Production Progress control is a horizontal overlaid bar chart that displays a bar for the current production, with its left edge at zero. The projected production is based on the current rate of production for the current job running on the current machine. The current production and projected production bars display in the colors as defined by the properties of the control.

There is also a tick mark showing the target production. If the projected production is less than the target, the control displays a warning to the user to indicate that the target production will not be reached. This warning should not be shown until the user has reported some quantities for the shift. The control has 120 scale markings on it with every 10th marking, starting with the 0th mark, being a larger mark. The scale has no fixed meaning. The Target tick mark is always placed at the 100 mark, and the scale is calculated from there.

The TargetQuantity or a TargetRate and TargetRateUnits can be set at run time, resulting in the other target values being recalculated using the new value and the control being refreshed based on the new target. See section on Set target values. The control also refreshes when the current job changes or the job quantity of the current job changes.
