# Detail

The `ProgressBar` is typically used to display the progress of a long running operation. It provides a visual clue that processing is underway. The `ProgressBar` can be used in two different modes: percentage mode and activity mode.

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 `progressBarSetFraction` 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 `progressBarPulse` perodically 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.

castToProgressBar :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> ProgressBar

gTypeProgressBar :: GType

toProgressBar :: ProgressBarClass o => o -> ProgressBar

# Constructors

progressBarNew :: IO ProgressBar

Creates a new `ProgressBar`.

# Methods

progressBarPulse :: ProgressBarClass self => self -> IO ()

Indicates that some progress is made, but you don't know how much. Causes the progress bar to enter "activity mode", where a block bounces back and forth. Each call to `progressBarPulse` causes the block to move by a little bit (the amount of movement per pulse is determined by `progressBarSetPulseStep`).

progressBarSetText :: ProgressBarClass self => self -> String -> IO ()

Causes the given `text` to appear superimposed on the progress bar.

progressBarSetFraction

Arguments

:: ProgressBarClass self |
=> self |
-> Double | `fraction` - fraction of the task that's been completed
-> IO () |

Causes the progress bar to "fill in" the given fraction of the bar. The fraction should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

progressBarSetPulseStep

Arguments

:: ProgressBarClass self |
=> self |
-> Double | `fraction` - fraction between 0.0 and 1.0
-> IO () |

Sets the fraction of total progress bar length to move the bouncing block for each call to `progressBarPulse`.

progressBarGetFraction

Arguments

:: ProgressBarClass self |
=> self |
-> IO Double | returns a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0

Returns the current fraction of the task that's been completed.

progressBarGetPulseStep

Arguments

:: ProgressBarClass self |
=> self |
-> IO Double | returns a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0

Retrieves the pulse step set with `progressBarSetPulseStep`

progressBarGetText

Arguments

:: ProgressBarClass self |
=> self |
-> IO (Maybe String) | returns text, or `Nothing`

Retrieves the text displayed superimposed on the progress bar, if any, otherwise `Nothing`.

data ProgressBarOrientation

Is the ProgressBar horizontally or vertically directed?

Constructors

ProgressRightToLeft |
ProgressBottomToTop |

progressBarSetOrientation :: ProgressBarClass self => self -> ProgressBarOrientation -> IO ()

Causes the progress bar to switch to a different orientation (left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top).

progressBarGetOrientation :: ProgressBarClass self => self -> IO ProgressBarOrientation

Retrieves the current progress bar orientation.

progressBarSetEllipsize :: ProgressBarClass self => self -> EllipsizeMode -> IO ()

Sets the mode used to ellipsize (add an ellipsis: "...") the text if there is not enough space to render the entire string.

- Available since Gtk+ version 2.6

progressBarGetEllipsize :: ProgressBarClass self => self -> IO EllipsizeMode

Returns the ellipsizing position of the progressbar. See `progressBarSetEllipsize`.

- Available since Gtk+ version 2.6

# Attributes

progressBarOrientation :: ProgressBarClass self => Attr self ProgressBarOrientation

Orientation and growth direction of the progress bar.

Default value: `ProgressLeftToRight`

progressBarDiscreteBlocks :: ProgressBarClass self => Attr self Int

The number of discrete blocks in a progress bar (when shown in the discrete style).

Allowed values: >= 2

Default value: 10

progressBarFraction :: ProgressBarClass self => Attr self Double

The fraction of total work that has been completed.

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0

progressBarPulseStep :: ProgressBarClass self => Attr self Double

The fraction of total progress to move the bouncing block when pulsed.

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0.1

progressBarText :: ProgressBarClass self => ReadWriteAttr self (Maybe String) String

Text to be displayed in the progress bar.

Default value: "%P %%"

progressBarEllipsize :: ProgressBarClass self => Attr self EllipsizeMode

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the progressbar does not have enough room to display the entire string, specified as a `EllipsizeMode`.

Note that setting this property to a value other than `EllipsizeNone` has the side-effect that the progressbar requests only enough space to display the ellipsis "...". Another means to set a progressbar's width is `widgetSetSizeRequest`.

Default value: `EllipsizeNone`
