Usage considerations

Using the percentage parameter

  • If an expression for the percentage parameter results in a decimal number, the system automatically casts the value to an integer.
  • If the percentage parameter is negative or null, the bar renders with 0% filled and displays the provided percentage as a label on the bar.
  • If the percentage parameter is greater than 100, the bar renders with 100% filled and displays the provided percentage as a label on the bar.

Bar thickness

  • We recommend you use thin styling on the progress bar when working with a small space on an interface, such as within grids.
