| Handling a progress monitor instance is deceptively simple. It |
| seems to be straightforward but it is easy to make a mistake |
| when using them. And, depending on numerous factors such as the |
| underlying implementation, how it is displayed, the result can |
| range from completely ok, mildly confusing or outright |
| silliness. In this article we lay down a few ground rules that |
| will help anyone use progress monitors in a way that will work |
| with the explicit and implicit contract of IProgressMonitor. |
| Also, understanding the usage side makes it easier to understand |
| how to implement a monitor. |
