93The QProgressDialog class provides feedback on the progress of a slow operation.
94
95
96<p> A progress dialog is used to give the user an indication of how long
97an operation is going to take, and to demonstrate that the
98application has not frozen. It can also give the user an opportunity
99to abort the operation.
100<p> A common problem with progress dialogs is that it is difficult to know
101when to use them; operations take different amounts of time on different
102hardware. QProgressDialog offers a solution to this problem:
103it estimates the time the operation will take (based on time for
104steps), and only shows itself if that estimate is beyond <a href="#minimumDuration">minimumDuration</a>()
105(4 seconds by default).
106<p> Use <a href="#setTotalSteps">setTotalSteps</a>() (or the constructor) to set the number of
107"steps" in the operation and call <a href="#setProgress">setProgress</a>() as the operation
108progresses. The step value can be chosen arbitrarily. It can be the
109number of files copied, the number of bytes received, the number of
110iterations through the main loop of your algorithm, or some other
111suitable unit. Progress starts at 0, and the progress dialog shows
112that the operation has finished when you call setProgress() with
113<a href="#totalSteps">totalSteps</a>() as its argument.
114<p> The dialog automatically resets and hides itself at the end of the
115operation. Use <a href="#setAutoReset">setAutoReset</a>() and <a href="#setAutoClose">setAutoClose</a>() to change this
116behavior.
117<p> There are two ways of using QProgressDialog: modal and modeless.
118<p> Using a modal QProgressDialog is simpler for the programmer, but you
119must call <a href="qapplication.html#processEvents">QApplication::processEvents</a>() or
120<a href="qeventloop.html#processEvents">QEventLoop::processEvents</a>(ExcludeUserInput) to keep the event loop
121running to ensure that the application doesn't freeze. Do the
122operation in a loop, call <a href="#setProgress">setProgress</a>() at intervals, and check
123for cancellation with <a href="#wasCanceled">wasCanceled</a>(). For example:
124<pre>
125QProgressDialog progress( "Copying files...", "Abort Copy", numFiles,
126 this, "progress", TRUE );
127for ( int i = 0; i &lt; numFiles; i++ ) {
128 progress.setProgress( i );
129 qApp-&gt;<a href="qapplication.html#processEvents">processEvents</a>();
130
131 if ( progress.wasCanceled() )
132 break;
133 //... copy one file
134}
135progress.setProgress( numFiles );
136</pre>
137
138<p> A modeless progress dialog is suitable for operations that take
139place in the background, where the user is able to interact with the
140application. Such operations are typically based on <a href="qtimer.html">QTimer</a> (or
141<a href="qobject.html#timerEvent">QObject::timerEvent</a>()), <a href="qsocketnotifier.html">QSocketNotifier</a>, or <a href="qurloperator.html">QUrlOperator</a>; or performed
142in a separate thread. A <a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a> in the status bar of your main window
143is often an alternative to a modeless progress dialog.
144<p> You need to have an event loop to be running, connect the
145<a href="#canceled">canceled</a>() signal to a slot that stops the operation, and call <a href="#setProgress">setProgress</a>() at intervals. For example:
146<pre>
147Operation::Operation( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> *parent = 0 )
148 : <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>( parent ), steps( 0 )
149{
150 pd = new QProgressDialog( "Operation in progress.", "Cancel", 100 );
151 <a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>( pd, SIGNAL(<a href="#canceled">canceled</a>()), this, SLOT(<a href="#cancel">cancel</a>()) );
152 t = new <a href="qtimer.html">QTimer</a>( this );
153 <a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>( t, SIGNAL(<a href="qtimer.html#timeout">timeout</a>()), this, SLOT(perform()) );
154 t-&gt;<a href="qtimer.html#start">start</a>( 0 );
155}
156
157void Operation::perform()
158{
159 pd-&gt;<a href="#setProgress">setProgress</a>( steps );
160 //... perform one percent of the operation
161 steps++;
162 if ( steps &gt; pd-&gt;<a href="#totalSteps">totalSteps</a>() )
163 t-&gt;<a href="qtimer.html#stop">stop</a>();
164}
165
166void Operation::cancel()
167{
168 t-&gt;<a href="qtimer.html#stop">stop</a>();
169 //... cleanup
170}
171</pre>
172
173<p> In both modes the progress dialog may be customized by
174replacing the child widgets with custom widgets by using <a href="#setLabel">setLabel</a>(),
175<a href="#setBar">setBar</a>(), and <a href="#setCancelButton">setCancelButton</a>().
176The functions <a href="#setLabelText">setLabelText</a>() and <a href="#setCancelButtonText">setCancelButtonText</a>()
177set the texts shown.

183</h3>
184Constructs a progress dialog.
185<p> Default settings:
186<ul>
187<li> The label text is empty.
188<li> The cancel button text is (translated) "Cancel".
189<li> The total number of steps is 100.
190</ul>
191<p> The <em>creator</em> argument is the widget to use as the dialog's parent.
192The <em>name</em>, <em>modal</em>, and the widget flags, <em>f</em>, are
193passed to the <a href="qdialog.html#QDialog">QDialog::QDialog</a>() constructor. If <em>modal</em> is FALSE (the
194default), you must have an event loop proceeding for any redrawing
195of the dialog to occur. If <em>modal</em> is TRUE, the dialog ensures that
196events are processed when needed.
197<p> <p>See also <a href="#labelText-prop">labelText</a>, <a href="#setLabel">setLabel</a>(), <a href="#setCancelButtonText">setCancelButtonText</a>(), <a href="#setCancelButton">setCancelButton</a>(), and <a href="#totalSteps-prop">totalSteps</a>.

200</h3>
201Constructs a progress dialog.
202<p> The <em>labelText</em> is text used to remind the user what is progressing.
203<p> The <em>cancelButtonText</em> is the text to display on the cancel button,
204or 0 if no cancel button is to be shown.
205<p> The <em>totalSteps</em> is the total number of steps in the operation for
206which this progress dialog shows progress. For example, if the
207operation is to examine 50 files, this value would be 50. Before
208examining the first file, call <a href="#setProgress">setProgress</a>(0). As each file is
209processed call setProgress(1), setProgress(2), etc., finally
210calling setProgress(50) after examining the last file.
211<p> The <em>creator</em> argument is the widget to use as the dialog's parent.
212The <em>name</em>, <em>modal</em>, and widget flags, <em>f</em>, are passed to the
213<a href="qdialog.html#QDialog">QDialog::QDialog</a>() constructor. If <em>modal</em> is FALSE (the default),
214you will must have an event loop proceeding for any redrawing of
215the dialog to occur. If <em>modal</em> is TRUE, the dialog ensures that
216events are processed when needed.

346<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoReset-prop"></a>autoReset</h3>
347<p>This property holds whether the progress dialog calls <a href="#reset">reset</a>() as soon as <a href="#progress">progress</a>() equals <a href="#totalSteps">totalSteps</a>().
348<p>The default is TRUE.
349<p> <p>See also <a href="#autoClose-prop">autoClose</a>.

357<h3 class=fn>int <a name="minimumDuration-prop"></a>minimumDuration</h3>
358<p>This property holds the time that must pass before the dialog appears.
359<p>If the expected duration of the task is less than the
360minimumDuration, the dialog will not appear at all. This prevents
361the dialog popping up for tasks that are quickly over. For tasks
362that are expected to exceed the minimumDuration, the dialog will
363pop up after the minimumDuration time or as soon as any progress
364is set.
365<p> If set to 0, the dialog is always shown as soon as any progress is
366set. The default is 4000 milliseconds.

369<h3 class=fn>int <a name="progress-prop"></a>progress</h3>
370<p>This property holds the current amount of progress made.
371<p>For the progress dialog to work as expected, you should initially set
372this property to 0 and finally set it to
373<a href="#totalSteps">QProgressDialog::totalSteps</a>(); you can call <a href="#setProgress">setProgress</a>() any number of times
374in-between.
375<p> <b>Warning:</b> If the progress dialog is modal
376(see <a href="#QProgressDialog">QProgressDialog::QProgressDialog</a>()),
377this function calls <a href="qapplication.html#processEvents">QApplication::processEvents</a>(), so take care that
378this does not cause undesirable re-entrancy in your code. For example,
379don't use a QProgressDialog inside a <a href="qwidget.html#paintEvent">paintEvent</a>()!
