The progressbar gives the user feedback of background work which takes some time. If the application knows how long the work takes, it should set the activityMode to false (the default) and inform the user in regular intervals via -fraction and -text how long the work still takes. If the time span cannot be estimated, activityMode can be set. By regularly calling the command pulse the user can be informed, that the application is still alive and work is going on.
