Progress Monitor needs to have a minimize button and setTitle() method

XMLWordPrintable

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      Currently the ProgressMonitor does not have a minimize button. This is very useful in the following scenario:

      Imagine a user connected to a remote system for dowloading files. If he decides to download a lot of files then the ProgressMonitor will tell him how much has been dowloaded and how much is left. If he wants to work with other parts of the application he should be able to do that. While he can do that even now, the ProgressMonitor can't be minimized. So the ProgressMonitor occupies a part of the screen which is not desirable.

      Also when the ProgressMonitor is minimized, the user should be able to point to it with the mouse to get information about the download which means it also needs setTitle(String title) method.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      The above description should serve as justification.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The ProgressMonitor can be minized and its title can be set.
      ACTUAL -
      Currently the features do not exist.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Don't have any.
