[Gnumed-devel] lil' project

[Karsten Hilbert]

for someone honing her Python/GUI skillz:

A generic progress bar. There's only one for MS Windows
implemented in wxWindows. Useful for
 - loading of plugins
 - bulk import of data
 - data transfer from medical devices
 - long searches in patients

Should support:

- a pipe filling left to right
- arbitrary caption
- arbitrary naming of start and end points
- numeric percentage display
- arbitrary fixed string
- another string changeable with every step() or set_progress()
- modal and non-modal mode
- optional acoustic/pop forward completion notification
- cancel button

Example:
,-------------------------------.
|  Loading GnuMed plugins       |   fixed caption
| ,---------------------------. |
| |########    35 %           | |
| `---------------------------' |
| loading: Prescription writer  |   <fixed string>: <changing string>
|         ________              |
|        | CANCEL |             |
|        `--------'             |
`-------------------------------'

Note how in this example the start and endpoints don't have
any label !

It might conceivably be based on the wxGauge family of widgets.

Comments, ideas, opinions ?

Regards,
Karsten
