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

179
180 If @false is returned, the application can either immediately destroy the
181 dialog or ask the user for the confirmation and if the abort is not confirmed
182 the dialog may be resumed with Resume() function.
183
184 If @a value is the maximum value for the dialog, the behaviour of the
185 function depends on whether @c wxPD_AUTO_HIDE was used when the dialog
186 was created. If it was, the dialog is hidden and the function returns
187 immediately. If it was not, the dialog becomes a modal dialog and waits
188 for the user to dismiss it, meaning that this function does not return
189 until this happens.

192 conform to the length of the new message if desired. The dialog does
193 not do this automatically.

200 empty (which is the default) the message is not changed.
