## Detailed Description

A widget which indicates progress visually.

The Gtk::ProgressBar is typically used to display the progress of a long running operation. It provides a visual clue that processing is underway. The Gtk::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 Gtk::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 set_fraction() 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 Gtk::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 pulse() perodically to update the progress bar.

There is quite a bit of flexibility provided to control the appearance of the Gtk::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.

The ProgressBar widget looks like this:

  Pango::EllipsizeMode.

double Gtk::ProgressBar::get_fraction | ( |  | ) | const

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

  A fraction from 0.0 to 1.0.

bool Gtk::ProgressBar::get_show_text | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the value of the Gtk::ProgressBar::show-text property.

See set_show_text().

Returns:
  `true` if text is shown in the progress bar.

Glib::ustring Gtk::ProgressBar::get_text | ( |  | ) | const

Retrieves the text displayed superimposed on the progress bar, if any.

Returns:
  Text.

GtkProgressBar* Gtk::ProgressBar::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Orientable.

const GtkProgressBar* Gtk::ProgressBar::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Orientable.

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::ProgressBar::property_ellipsize | ( |  | ) |

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the progress bar does not have enough room to display the entire string, if at all.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gtk::ProgressBar::property_ellipsize | ( |  | ) | const

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the progress bar does not have enough room to display the entire string, if at all.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<double> Gtk::ProgressBar::property_fraction | ( |  | ) |

The fraction of total work that has been completed.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<double> Gtk::ProgressBar::property_fraction | ( |  | ) | const

void Gtk::ProgressBar::pulse | ( |  | ) |

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 pulse() causes the block to move by a little bit (the amount of movement per pulse is determined by set_pulse_step()).

void Gtk::ProgressBar::set_ellipsize | ( | Pango::EllipsizeMode | mode | ) |

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

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  mode | A Pango::EllipsizeMode.

void Gtk::ProgressBar::set_fraction | ( | double | fraction | ) |

Causes the progress bar to "fill in" the given fraction of the bar.

The fraction should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

Parameters:

  fraction | Fraction of the task that's been completed.

void Gtk::ProgressBar::set_inverted | ( | bool | inverted = `true` | ) |

void Gtk::ProgressBar::set_pulse_step | ( | double | fraction | ) |

Sets the fraction of total progress bar length to move the bouncing block for each call to pulse().

Parameters:

  fraction | Fraction between 0.0 and 1.0.

void Gtk::ProgressBar::set_show_text | ( | bool | show_text = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the progressbar will show text superimposed over the bar.

The shown text is either the value of the Gtk::ProgressBar::text property or, if that is `0`, the Gtk::ProgressBar::fraction value, as a percentage.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  show_text | Whether to show superimposed text.

void Gtk::ProgressBar::set_text | ( | const Glib::ustring & | text | ) |

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

Parameters:

  text | A UTF-8 string, or `0`.
