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

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