Refl_gui Improvements - Process Progressbar

[mantid-builder]

This issue was originally TRAC 8787

Original Reporter: Keith Brown

Add a progress bar to the ISIS Reflectometry status bar when processing to show how far it's through processing.

Refs http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/8787 Progress bar implemented.

Progress bar is now attached to the status bar

The problem I encountered was that the Mantid window brings itself tot he front when processing occurs. So you've actually got to move the gui away from the mantid main window to see this working

To Tester

Make sure all the features of the Reflectometry gui still work.

• General use instructions - http://www.mantidproject.org/ISIS_Reflectometry_GUI
• Testing instructions - http://www.mantidproject.org/Testing_ISIS_Reflectometry_GUI
• Example - http://www.mantidproject.org/ISIS_Reflectometry_Examples

Note that when processing the progress bar updates every processed row - You'll have to move the windows a bit too see this, as when processing the gui plots graphs which will force the mantid main window to the front. So move the windows so that the Gui doesn't overlap the main window

When processing a selected number of rows it'll split the progress bar up into that many, if you process all, it'll attempt all 100 rows (filled or not) so the progress bar will increment 1% per row and speed-complete when it hit's the end of the data.

For testing i used the attached table. This ticket isn't fully baked yet, so I don't think it should make the release. The progress bar doesn't update nicely (at least on the Mac, which i'm using for testing). I think this should be rolled into the new GUI rather than rushed for this older gui, but let's keep this ticket open for the time-being. I'll just move it to 3.2.

In which case I'll stop it blocking 7377 as that's just for the old gui

There is plenty of progress bars in ISIS reflectometry GUI now.
