DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

•

-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.
