    @class wxProgressDialog

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

    @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.
    @style{wxPD_SMOOTH}
           Causes smooth progress of the gauge control.
    @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.

        dialog or ask the user for the confirmation and if the abort is not confirmed
        the dialog may be resumed with Resume() function.

        @param value
            The new value of the progress meter. It should be less than or equal to

            it is equal to the maximum.
