| | How to Use Progress Bars |
 | | A progress bar that displays a string is likely to be taller than one that doesn't, and, as the demo designers, we've arbitarily decided that this progress bar should display a string only when it's in the default, determinate mode. |
 | | If you are working directly with a progress bar, you can set it to be indeterminate, make it display vertically, provide a string for it to display, register change listeners on it, and provide it with a bounded range model to control the progress bar's minimum, maximum, and current values. |
 | | The running task is secondary and the user might not be interested in the progress of the task. |
