I wish to pop up a progress dialog for a windowless app. Is there any way to do this? I've been doing this... 
    use base qw(Wx::ProgressDialog);    

sub new {
    my $class  = shift;
    my $max    = shift || 10;
    my $vars   = (wxPD_CAN_ABORT| wxPD_APP_MODAL|wxPD_ELAPSED_TIME| wx
+PD_ESTIMATED_TIME| wxPD_REMAINING_TIME);
    my $this   = $class->SUPER::new("xp6 progres ($max)", "the progres
+s ($max)", $max, undef, $vars);

    $this->Show(1);
    return $this;
}

Oddly, when I send it updates, it doesn't show up but when I max it out with the last Update(), it suddenly shows up (completed).

I'm guessing it's not showing up because the parent window paramater is undef, but what I'm wondering is if there's a way to pop up a progress dialog without a parent window?

Incidentally, I got this invocation from 215789 and using that example, the dialog definitely works. I'm just trying to do it without the parent window.

In reply to Wx::ProgressDialog, please help by jettero
