    @class wxProgressDialog

    This class represents a dialog that shows a short message and a
    progress bar. Optionally, it can display ABORT and SKIP buttons, and
    the elapsed, remaining and estimated time for the end of the progress.

    Note that you must be aware that wxProgressDialog internally calls
    wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor with @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI and @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_USER_INPUT
    and this may cause unwanted re-entrancies or the out-of-order processing
    of pending events (to help preventing the last problem if you're using
    wxProgressDialog in a multi-threaded application you should be sure to use
    wxThreadEvent for your inter-threads communications).

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxPD_APP_MODAL}
           Make the progress dialog modal. If this flag is not given, it is
           only "locally" modal - that is the input to the parent window is
           disabled, but not to the other ones.
    @style{wxPD_AUTO_HIDE}
           Causes the progress dialog to disappear from screen as soon as the
           maximum value of the progress meter has been reached.
           If this style is not present, the dialog will become a modal dialog
           (see wxDialog::ShowModal) once the maximum value has been reached;
           this results in processing of pending events and may cause
           unwanted re-entrancies.
    @style{wxPD_SMOOTH}
           Causes smooth progress of the gauge control (uses a wxGauge with the
           @c wxGA_SMOOTH style).
    @style{wxPD_CAN_ABORT}
           This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Cancel" button
           which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to
           Update() will return @false.
    @style{wxPD_CAN_SKIP}
           This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Skip" button
           which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to
           Update() will return @true in its skip parameter.
    @style{wxPD_ELAPSED_TIME}
           This flag tells the dialog that it should show elapsed time (since
           creating the dialog).
    @style{wxPD_ESTIMATED_TIME}
           This flag tells the dialog that it should show estimated time.
    @style{wxPD_REMAINING_TIME}
           This flag tells the dialog that it should show remaining time.

            wxProgressDialog when @a value is the maximum value given in the ctor.
