    $cui->setprogress(10, 'Some other message');
    $cui->noprogress;

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.

METHODS

• 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.
