10 @class wxProgressDialog
11
12 This class represents a dialog that shows a short message and a
13 progress bar. Optionally, it can display ABORT and SKIP buttons, and
14 the elapsed, remaining and estimated time for the end of the progress.
15
16 Note that you must be aware that wxProgressDialog internally calls
17 wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor with @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI and @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_USER_INPUT
18 and this may cause unwanted re-entrancies or the out-of-order processing
19 of pending events (to help preventing the last problem if you're using
20 wxProgressDialog in a multi-threaded application you should be sure to use
21 wxThreadEvent for your inter-threads communications).
22
23 @beginStyleTable
24 @style{wxPD_APP_MODAL}
25 Make the progress dialog modal. If this flag is not given, it is
26 only "locally" modal - that is the input to the parent window is
27 disabled, but not to the other ones.
28 @style{wxPD_AUTO_HIDE}
29 Causes the progress dialog to disappear from screen as soon as the
30 maximum value of the progress meter has been reached.
31 @style{wxPD_SMOOTH}
32 Causes smooth progress of the gauge control.
33 @style{wxPD_CAN_ABORT}
34 This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Cancel" button
35 which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to
36 Update() will return @false.
37 @style{wxPD_CAN_SKIP}
38 This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Skip" button
39 which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to
40 Update() will return @true in its skip parameter.
41 @style{wxPD_ELAPSED_TIME}
42 This flag tells the dialog that it should show elapsed time (since
43 creating the dialog).
44 @style{wxPD_ESTIMATED_TIME}
45 This flag tells the dialog that it should show estimated time.
46 @style{wxPD_REMAINING_TIME}
47 This flag tells the dialog that it should show remaining time.
