+= [classname]#ProgressBar#
+
+The [classname]#ProgressBar# component allows displaying the progress of a task
+graphically. The progress is specified as a floating-point value between 0.0 and
+1.0.
+
+[[figure.components.progressbar.basic]]
+.The Progress Bar Component
+image::img/progressbar-basic.png[]
+
+To display upload progress with the [classname]#Upload# component, you can
+update the progress bar in a [interfacename]#ProgressListener#.
+
+When the position of a progress bar is done in a background thread, the change
+is not shown in the browser immediately. You need to use either polling or
+server push to update the browser. You can enable polling with
+[methodname]#setPollInterval()# in the current UI instance. See
+<<dummy/../../../framework/advanced/advanced-push#advanced.push,"Server Push">>
+for instructions about using server push. Whichever method you use to update the
+UI, it is important to lock the user session by modifying the progress bar value
+inside [methodname]#access()# call, as illustrated in the following example and
+described in
+<<dummy/../../../framework/advanced/advanced-push#advanced.push.running,"Accessing
+UI from Another Thread">>.
+

+layout.addComponent(bar);
+
+layout.addComponent(new Button("Increase",
+ new ClickListener() {
+ @Override
+ public void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {
+ float current = bar.getValue();
+ if (current < 1.0f)
+ bar.setValue(current + 0.10f);
+ }
+}));

+[[components.progressbar.indeterminate]]
+== Indeterminate Mode
+
+In the indeterminate mode, a non-progressive indicator is displayed
+continuously. The indeterminate indicator is a circular wheel in the built-in
+themes. The progress value has no meaning in the indeterminate mode.
+
+
+[source, java]

+ProgressBar bar = new ProgressBar();
+bar.setIndeterminate(true);

+[[components.progressbar.thread]]
+== Doing Heavy Computation
+
+The progress indicator is often used to display the progress of a heavy
+server-side computation task, often running in a background thread. The UI,
+including the progress bar, can be updated either with polling or by using
+server push. When doing so, you must ensure thread-safety, most easily by
+updating the UI inside a [methodname]#UI.access()# call in a
+[interfacename]#Runnable#, as described in
+<<dummy/../../../framework/advanced/advanced-push#advanced.push.running,"Accessing
+UI from Another Thread">>.
+
+In the following example, we create a thread in the server to do some "heavy
+work" and use polling to update the UI. All the thread needs to do is to set the
+value of the progress bar with [methodname]#setValue()# and the current progress
+is displayed automatically when the browser polls the server.

+----
+.v-progressbar, v-progressbar-indeterminate {}
+ .v-progressbar-wrapper {}
+ .v-progressbar-indicator {}
+----
+
+The progress bar has a [literal]#++v-progressbar++# base style. The animation is
+the background of the element with [literal]#++v-progressbar-wrapper++# style,
+by default an animated GIF image. The progress is an element with
+[literal]#++v-progressbar-indicator++# style inside the wrapper, and therefore
+displayed on top of it. When the progress element grows, it covers more and more
+of the animated background.
+
+In the indeterminate mode, the top element also has the
+[literal]#++v-progressbar-indeterminate++# style. The built-in themes simply
+display the animated GIF in the top element and have the inner elements
+disabled.
