.. class:: wx.ActivityIndicator(Control)

   **Possible constructors**::

       ActivityIndicator() -> None
       
       ActivityIndicator(parent : Window, winid: int=ID_ANY, pos:
                         Point=DefaultPosition, size: Size=DefaultSize, style: int=0, name:
                         str="activityindicator") -> None
       
   
   Small control showing an animation indicating that the program is
   currently busy performing some background task.



   .. method:: __init__(self, *args, **kw)



      |overload| **Overloaded Implementations:**

      :html:`<hr class="overloadsep" /><br />`

      
      **__init__** `(self)`
      
      Default constructor. 
                       
      
      Use :meth:`Create`   to really create the control after using this constructor. 
                       
      
      :rtype: `None`

      **__init__** `(self, parent : Window, winid: int=ID_ANY, pos: Point=DefaultPosition, size: Size=DefaultSize, style: int=0, name: str="activityindicator")`
      
      Constructor fully creating the control. 
                       
      
      The arguments have the usual meanings and only `parent`  is typically required. 
                       
      
      
      :param `parent`: 
      :type `parent`: wx.Window
      :param `winid`: 
      :type `winid`: wx.WindowID
      :param `pos`: 
      :type `pos`: wx.Point
      :param `size`: 
      :type `size`: wx.Size
      :param `style`: 
      :type `style`: long
      :param `name`: 
      :type `name`: string

      :html:`<hr class="overloadsep" /><br />`






   .. method:: Create(self, parent : Window, winid: int=ID_ANY, pos: Point=DefaultPosition, size: Size=DefaultSize, style: int=0, name: str="activityindicator")

      Create the control initialized using the default constructor. 
                 

      This method can be used to finish the control creation if it hadn't been done already by using the non-default constructor. 
                 


      :param `parent`: 
      :type `parent`: wx.Window
      :param `winid`: 
      :type `winid`: wx.WindowID
      :param `pos`: 
      :type `pos`: wx.Point
      :param `size`: 
      :type `size`: wx.Size
      :param `style`: 
      :type `style`: long
      :param `name`: 
      :type `name`: string




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. staticmethod:: GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant: WindowVariant=WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)




      :param `variant`: 
      :type `variant`: wx.WindowVariant




      :rtype: :ref:`wx.VisualAttributes`








   .. method:: IsRunning(self)

      Returns ``True`` if the control is currently showing activity. 
                 

      Returns ``False`` initially, ``True`` once :meth:`Start`   is called and ``False`` again after calling :meth:`Stop` . 
                 

      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: Start(self)

      Starts animation of the indicator. 
                 

      Does nothing if the indicator is already running. 
                 

      :rtype: `None`     








   .. method:: Stop(self)

      Stops the animation of the indicator. 
                 

      Notice that the animation is stopped even if :meth:`Start`   had been called multiple times before, i.e. the calls are not cumulative. 
                 

      :rtype: `None`
