Centering object between two other objects

Good morning all,

Bit of mind boggler this.

I have the following little progress bar thing:

The bar between the two numbers (Stage1 and Stage2, from left to right) is currently centred using the following code:

x = (Stage1.X + Stage1.Width) + (Stage1.Width / 2)
width = Stage2.X - (Stage1.X + Stage1.Width) - (Stage1.Width)

Now this means that if I resize the control, the bar adjusts automatically, like below:

But you can also see that the bar becomes too short to be useful/look any good. So I think I need the width of the bar to be a percentage of the gap between Stage1 and Stage2, and for the X to continue to centre it.

Honestly I'm at a loss on how to do this. Is there anyone better at maths that can help here? Cheers!

Hi @EpicTriffid ,

With the below you'll have a 10% / 80% / 10% ratio which you adjust by changing the fractions:

X = (Stage1.X + Stage1.Width)+((Stage2.X - (Stage1.X + Stage1.Width)) * .1) Width = (Stage2.X - (Stage1.X + Stage1.Width)) * .8

On top of that you may want to set the Visible property so the control disappears below a certain threshold (in the below example 25):

Visible = Self.Width > 25
