Class ProgressMonitor

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.ProgressMonitor
All Implemented Interfaces:
Accessible
public class ProgressMonitor
extends Object
implements Accessible
A class to monitor the progress of some operation. If it looks like the operation will take a while, a progress dialog will be popped up. When the ProgressMonitor is created it is given a numeric range and a descriptive string. As the operation progresses, call the setProgress method to indicate how far along the [min,max] range the operation is. Initially, there is no ProgressDialog. After the first millisToDecideToPopup milliseconds (default 500) the progress monitor will predict how long the operation will take. If it is longer than millisToPopup (default 2000, 2 seconds) a ProgressDialog will be popped up.

From time to time, when the Dialog box is visible, the progress bar will be updated when setProgress is called. setProgress won't always update the progress bar, it will only be done if the amount of progress is visibly significant.

For further documentation and examples see How to Monitor Progress, a section in The Java Tutorial.

      public ProgressMonitor​(Component parentComponent, Object message, String note, int min, int max)
      Constructs a graphic object that shows progress, typically by filling in a rectangular bar as the process nears completion.
      Parameters:
      parentComponent - the parent component for the dialog box
      message - a descriptive message that will be shown to the user to indicate what operation is being monitored. This does not change as the operation progresses. See the message parameters to methods in JOptionPane.message for the range of values.
      note - a short note describing the state of the operation. As the operation progresses, you can call setNote to change the note displayed. This is used, for example, in operations that iterate through a list of files to show the name of the file being processes. If note is initially null, there will be no note line in the dialog box and setNote will be ineffective
      min - the lower bound of the range
      max - the upper bound of the range

  • Method Details

    • setProgress

      public void setProgress​(int nv)
      Indicate the progress of the operation being monitored. If the specified value is >= the maximum, the progress monitor is closed.
      Parameters:
      nv - an int specifying the current value, between the maximum and minimum specified for this component
      See Also:
      setMinimum(int), setMaximum(int), close()

    • close

      public void close()
      Indicate that the operation is complete. This happens automatically when the value set by setProgress is >= max, but it may be called earlier if the operation ends early.

    • getMinimum

      public int getMinimum()
      Returns the minimum value -- the lower end of the progress value.
      Returns:

      See Also:
      setMinimum(int)

    • setMinimum

      public void setMinimum​(int m)
      Specifies the minimum value.
      Parameters:
      m - an int specifying the minimum value
      See Also:

    • getMaximum

      public int getMaximum()
      Returns the maximum value -- the higher end of the progress value.

      setMaximum(int)

    • setMaximum

      public void setMaximum​(int m)
      Specifies the maximum value.
