## Detailed Description

This class represents a dialog that shows a short message and a 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 `wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI` and `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).

## Styles

This class supports the following styles:

- wxPD_APP_MODAL:
  Make the progress dialog modal. If this flag is not given, it is only "locally" modal - that is the input to the parent window is disabled, but not to the other ones.
- 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.
- wxPD_SMOOTH:
  Causes smooth progress of the gauge control (uses a wxGauge with the `wxGA_SMOOTH` 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 Update() will return false.
- wxPD_CAN_SKIP:
  This flag tells the dialog that it should have a "Skip" button which the user may press. If this happens, the next call to Update() will return true in its skip parameter.
- wxPD_ELAPSED_TIME:
  This flag tells the dialog that it should show elapsed time (since creating the dialog).
- wxPD_ESTIMATED_TIME:
  This flag tells the dialog that it should show estimated time.
- wxPD_REMAINING_TIME:
  This flag tells the dialog that it should show remaining time.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxProgressDialog::wxProgressDialog | ( | const wxString & | title,
|  | const wxString & | message,
|  | int | maximum = `100`,
|  | wxWindow * | parent = `NULL`,
|  | int | style = `wxPD_AUTO_HIDE|wxPD_APP_MODAL` |
| ) |  |  |

Constructor.

Creates the dialog, displays it and disables user input for other windows, or, if `wxPD_APP_MODAL` flag is not given, for its parent window only.

Parameters:

  | title | Dialog title to show in titlebar.
  | message | Message displayed above the progress bar.
  | maximum | Maximum value for the progress bar. In the generic implementation the progress bar is constructed only if this value is greater than zero.
  | parent | Parent window.
  | style | The dialog style. See wxProgressDialog.

virtual wxProgressDialog::~wxProgressDialog | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destructor.

Deletes the dialog and enables all top level windows.

## Member Function Documentation

wxString wxProgressDialog::GetMessage | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the last message passed to the Update() function; if you always passed wxEmptyString to Update() then the message set through the constructor is returned.

Since:
  2.9.0

int wxProgressDialog::GetRange | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the maximum value of the progress meter, as passed to the constructor or `wxNOT_FOUND` if the dialog has no progress bar.

Since:
  2.9.0

int wxProgressDialog::GetValue | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the last value passed to the Update() function or `wxNOT_FOUND` if the dialog has no progress bar.

Since:
  2.9.0

virtual bool wxProgressDialog::Pulse | ( | const wxString & | newmsg = `wxEmptyString`,
|  | bool * | skip = `NULL` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Like Update() but makes the gauge control run in indeterminate mode.

In indeterminate mode the remaining and the estimated time labels (if present) are set to "Unknown" or to newmsg (if it's non-empty). Each call to this function moves the progress bar a bit to indicate that some progress was done.

See also:
  wxGauge::Pulse(), Update()

void wxProgressDialog::Resume | ( |  | ) |

Can be used to continue with the dialog, after the user had clicked the "Abort" button.

void wxProgressDialog::SetRange | ( | int | maximum | ) |

Changes the maximum value of the progress meter given in the constructor.

This function can only be called (with a positive value) if the value passed in the constructor was positive.

Since:
  2.9.1

virtual bool wxProgressDialog::Update | ( | int | value,
|  | const wxString & | newmsg = `wxEmptyString`,
|  | bool * | skip = `NULL` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Updates the dialog, setting the progress bar to the new value and updating the message if new one is specified.

Returns true unless the "Cancel" button has been pressed.

If false is returned, the application can either immediately destroy the dialog or ask the user for the confirmation and if the abort is not confirmed the dialog may be resumed with Resume() function.

If value is the maximum value for the dialog, the behaviour of the function depends on whether `wxPD_AUTO_HIDE` was used when the dialog was created. If it was, the dialog is hidden and the function returns immediately. If it was not, the dialog becomes a modal dialog and waits for the user to dismiss it, meaning that this function does not return until this happens.

Notice that you may want to call Fit() to change the dialog size to conform to the length of the new message if desired. The dialog does not do this automatically.

Parameters:

  | value | The new value of the progress meter. It should be less than or equal to the maximum value given to the constructor.
  | newmsg | The new messages for the progress dialog text, if it is empty (which is the default) the message is not changed.
  | skip | If "Skip" button was pressed since last Update() call, this is set to true.

bool wxProgressDialog::WasCancelled | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if the "Cancel" button was pressed.

Normally a Cancel button press is indicated by Update() returning false but sometimes it may be more convenient to check if the dialog was cancelled from elsewhere in the code and this function allows to do it.

It always returns false if the Cancel button is not shown at all.

Since:
  2.9.1

bool wxProgressDialog::WasSkipped | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if the "Skip" button was pressed.

This is similar to WasCancelled() but returns true if the "Skip" button was pressed, not the "Cancel" one.

Since:
  2.9.1
