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 If this style is not present, the dialog will become a modal dialog
32 (see wxDialog::ShowModal) once the maximum value has been reached
33 and wait for the user to dismiss it.
34 @style{wxPD_SMOOTH}
35 Causes smooth progress of the gauge control (uses a wxGauge with the
36 @c wxGA_SMOOTH style).
37 @style{wxPD_CAN_ABORT}
38 This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Cancel" button
39 which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to
40 Update() will return @false.
41 @style{wxPD_CAN_SKIP}
42 This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Skip" button
43 which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to
44 Update() will return @true in its skip parameter.
45 @style{wxPD_ELAPSED_TIME}
46 This flag tells the dialog that it should show elapsed time (since
47 creating the dialog).
48 @style{wxPD_ESTIMATED_TIME}
49 This flag tells the dialog that it should show estimated time.
50 @style{wxPD_REMAINING_TIME}
51 This flag tells the dialog that it should show remaining time.

170
171 If @false is returned, the application can either immediately destroy the
172 dialog or ask the user for the confirmation and if the abort is not confirmed
173 the dialog may be resumed with Resume() function.
174
175 If @a value is the maximum value for the dialog, the behaviour of the
176 function depends on whether @c wxPD_AUTO_HIDE was used when the dialog
177 was created. If it was, the dialog is hidden and the function returns
178 immediately. If it was not, the dialog becomes a modal dialog and waits
179 for the user to dismiss it, meaning that this function does not return
180 until this happens.

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

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