# ClientUser::CreateProgress( int, P4INT64 )

Create a `ClientProgress` object by subclassing, or null if no progress indicator is desired.

Virtual? | Yes |
Class | `ClientUser` |
Arguments | `int ProgressType` | The type of progress to be reported, which might influence how to handle progress notification, if at all. See Progress types in the ClientProgress class overview.
| `P4INT64 filesize` | The size of the file for the progress object. This method can be overridden to change the default value of `1024` bytes.
Returns | `*ClientProgress` | A pointer to the new `ClientProgress` object.

## Notes

Typically used by client-side file transfer callbacks. The `P4INT64` parameter is the total size of the file, which is used to decide if a progress notification is worth the overhead.

If not implemented, the default behavior is to skip progress notifications if the size is less that `1024` bytes and call ClientUser::CreateProgress( int ). Overriding `ClientUser::CreateProgress( int, P4INT64 )` allows your implementation to decide whether to return a ClientProgress instance or NULL based on the file size. In your override, consider incrementing a file count because `CreateProgress( int, P4INT64 )` will be called for all transfers.

To enable progress reporting for a command, create a `ClientProgress` object and then implement `ProgressIndicator()` to return 0 or 1 depending on whether or not you want to enable the progress indicator. (You typically implement `ProgressIndicator()` to return 1.)
