Progress Dialog User Interface
There are two versions of this dialog:
- Mono-thread version
- Multi-thread version
The multi-thread version is a mono-thread version with extra progress bars and thread-control buttons. This version is displayed from a Grab All or a Grab List command.
The mono-thread version has the following components:
- The command ID label (at the top): It displays the command ID from which this dialog has been activated
- The message list area: It displays, in sequence, a message for each significant activity involved with the command
- The shortcut-list-related progress bar: It displays, in graphical and textual form, the number of shortcut items that have been or are actually being processed. Note: A bar that shows 100% filled does not mean that the processing is completed, it means that there is no other items that are waiting to be processed. The processing is completed when you see the message "ENDED" in the message list area (the above-described component).
- The topic roots collection progress bar (the lowest progress bar): It displays the number of topic roots that has been processed. Here, a 100% filled bar means that the processing is indeed completed. Note: This progress bar is active for File menu commands only.
- Add To Report
button: If clicked, it adds the message list area content to the report file.
- AutoScroll
toggle button: If toggled ON, the message list area will automatically scroll to show the most recent message.
- Stop
button: If clicked, it requests a stop command. If successful, you should see the message "ENDED" in the message list area after some delay (about half a minute). When this message is displayed, you can dispose the dialog without losing or scrambling the imported web files.
- Dispose
button: If clicked, it disposes this dialog display. Important Note: Make sure that the last message in the message list area is: "ENDED". Otherwise, the Dispose button will generate a kill command before disposing the dialog (Under that circumstance, a warning dialog will be displayed before; you may confirm or cancel the Dispose command there). Such a kill command might result in some WebGrabber instability. Under such a circumstance, you would have to stop WebGrabber by a File > Exit command then restart it.
- Help
button: If clicked, it displays the help document related to the Progress dialog.
The multi-thread version has these additional components for each thread (they are located at the left side of the message list area):
- The thread progress bar: It displays in graphical and textual format, the web-file-import progress associated to the thread. One thread is assigned for importing a web file or a web page with its embedded web files. Once the import operation is completed for a file, the thread is reassigned to another web file.
- The Skip button: If clicked, it interrupts the related thread and cancels the assigned web file import operation. The thread will be reassigned to another web file.
