public class ProgressBar extends Progress
When an application can determine how much work needs to take place (e.g. read a fixed number of bytes from a file) and can monitor its progress, it can use the ProgressBar in percentage mode and the user sees a growing bar indicating the percentage of the work that has been completed. In this mode, the application is required to call {@link #setFraction(double)} periodically to update the progress bar.
When an application has no accurate way of knowing the amount of work to do, it can use the ProgressBar in activity mode, which shows activity by a block moving back and forth within the progress area. In this mode, the application is required to call {@link #pulse()} periodically to update the progress bar.
There is quite a bit of flexibility provided to control the appearance of the ProgressBar. Functions are provided to control the orientation of the bar, optional text can be displayed along with the bar, and the step size used in activity mode can be set.

ProgressBar()
Constructs a new ProgressBar widget | |
ProgressBar(Handle handle)
Construct a new ProgressBar passing a handle to a native widget resource.

Method Summary | |
---|---|
EllipsizeMode | getEllipsize()
Returns the ellipsizing position.
|
double | getFraction()
Returns the current value of the display. |
static ProgressBar | getProgressBar(Handle handle)
Internal static factory method to be used by Java-Gnome only. |
static Type | getType()
Retrieve the runtime type used by the GLib library. |
void | pulse()
Indicates that some progress is made, but you don't know how much. |
void | setEllipsize(EllipsizeMode mode)
Sets the mode used to ellipsize (add an ellipsis: "...") the text if
there is not enough space to render the entire string.
|
void | setFraction(double fraction)
Causes the progress bar to "fill in" the given fraction of the bar. |
void | setOrientation(ProgressBarOrientation orientation)
Causes the progress bar to switch to a different orientation
(left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top).
|
void | setPulseStep(double fraction)
Sets the fraction of total progress bar length to move the bouncing block
for each call to {@link #pulse()}.
|
void | setText(String text)
Causes the given text to appear superimposed on the progress bar.
