Text-less progress bar calculator

blog clipart
Hello, I was looking for a place to post an idea and came across this website. Now, I for one go crazy over having to watch progress bars that do not have a percentage amount displayed, the worst of which being Adobe Encore.

Now then, here's my idea: A small program that you can activate VIA a hotkey, when pressed your cursor becomes the crosshair type. Then the user drags the crosshair from the beginning of the progress bar to the end of the progress bar, after that they click on where the progress bar is currently at and it will calculate the percentage and display it.

It seems easy enough to calculate the percentage base on the width of the progress bar and the distance between the start and where it is currently at, so I hope this idea can become more then just that.

This is a good example of the coding snack section at it's most interesting.. Someone posts a strange reply, and in a couple of days, there is not one but 2 working solutions!
