[sword-devel] InstallMgr questions...

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Nic,

Have a look at the c-tor to InstallMgr which takes a StatusReporter
object.  You can pass your own status reporter subclass to this to
report status to your user however you'd like.  Here is a simple example
(not checked for syntax):

class MyStatusReporter : public StatusReporter {
private:
     SomeGUI *someGUI;
public:
     MyStatusReporter(SomeGUI *gui) : someGUI(gui) {}

     /** called before stages of a batch download */
     void preStatus(long totalBytes, long completedBytes, const char
*message) {
           someGUI->getTotalStatusBar()->setMax(totalBytes);
           someGUI->getTotalStatusBar()->setProgress(completedBytes);
           someGUI->getMessageBox()->setText(message);
     }

     /** frequently called throughout a download, to report status */
     void statusUpdate(double dtTotal, double dlNow) {
           someGUI->getStageStatusBar()->setMax(totalBytes);
           someGUI->getStateStatusBar()->setProgress(completedBytes);
     }
};

Hope this helps.

	-Troy.
