Curses::UI::Dialog::Progress is not really a dialog, since the user has no way of interacting with it. It is merely a way of presenting progress information to the user of your program.

See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Progress in the distribution for a short demo.

  • -title < TEXT >

    Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

  • -message < TEXT >

    This option sets the initial message to show to TEXT. This message is displayed using a Curses::UI::Label, so it can not contain any newline (\n) characters.

  • -nomessage < BOOLEAN >

    If BOOLEAN has a true value, the dialog window will not contain a message label. By default -nomessage has a false value.

  • -min < VALUE >
  • -max < VALUE >
  • -pos < VALUE >
  • -nopercentage < BOOLEAN >
  • -nocenterline < BOOLEAN >

    These options control the progressbar of the dialog. For an explanation of these options, see Curses::UI::Progressbar.

  • new ( OPTIONS )
  • layout ( )
  • draw ( BOOLEAN )

    These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.

  • pos ( VALUE )

    This method will update the position of the progressbar to SCALAR. You will have to call the draw method to see the changes.

  • message ( TEXT )

    This method will update the message of the progress dialog to TEXT. You will have to call the draw method to see the changes.
