@class wxProgressDialog
- @wxheader{progdlg.h}
This class represents a dialog that shows a short message and a
- progress bar. Optionally, it can display ABORT and SKIP buttons,
+ progress bar. Optionally, it can display ABORT and SKIP buttons, and
the elapsed, remaining and estimated time for the end of the progress.
+ Note that you must be aware that wxProgressDialog internally calls
+ wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor with @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI and @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_USER_INPUT
+ and this may cause unwanted re-entrancies or the out-of-order processing
+ of pending events (to help preventing the last problem if you're using
+ wxProgressDialog in a multi-threaded application you should be sure to use
+ wxThreadEvent for your inter-threads communications).

@beginStyleTable
@style{wxPD_APP_MODAL}
Make the progress dialog modal. If this flag is not given, it is
@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.
+ If this style is not present, the dialog will become a modal dialog
+ (see wxDialog::ShowModal) once the maximum value has been reached
+ and wait for the user to dismiss it.
@style{wxPD_SMOOTH}
- Causes smooth progress of the gauge control.
+ Causes smooth progress of the gauge control (uses a wxGauge with the
+ @c wxGA_SMOOTH style).
@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
Message displayed above the progress bar.
@param maximum
Maximum value for the progress bar.
+ In the generic implementation the progress bar is constructed
+ only if this value is greater than zero.
@param parent
Parent window.

the dialog may be resumed with Resume() function.
