// A QProgressPanel is a convenience class that provides a common
// functionality: displaying a progress meter along with a label.
// QProgressPanel also has two optional buttons: a "Hide" button and a "Close"
// button - pressing either of these buttons sends a signal. <b>Important</b>:
// it is the responsibility of the caller/parent to handle these signals.
// </synopsis>
