     \class HbProgressBar
 
     \brief HbProgressBar widget provides a vertical and horizontal progress bar.
-    An infinite progressbar is also available.
-
-    A progress bar is used to give the user an indication of the progress of an operation and to 
-    reassure them that the application is still running.

-    The progress bar uses the concept of steps. User can set it up by specifying the minimum and 
-    maximum possible step values, and it will display the percentage of steps that have been completed
-    when you later give it the current step value. 
-    
-    The percentage is calculated by dividing the progress (progressValue() - minimum()) divided by maximum() - minimum().
+    The HbProgressBar widget provides a horizontal or vertical progress bar.
 
-    User can specify the minimum and maximum number of steps with setMinimum() and setMaximum() APIs. 
-    The current number of steps is set with setProgressValue().

+    
+    By default the min value is 0 and max value is 100.If minimum and maximum both are set to 0, the bar shows a busy indicator 
+    instead of a percentage of steps.
 
-    If minimum and maximum both are set to 0, the bar shows a busy indicator instead of a percentage of steps.
-    This is useful, for example, when using ftp or http to download items when they are unable to 
-    determine the size of the item being downloaded.
-
-    ProgressBar also supports adding text . min max text pair is also supported which is commonly 
-    used for progress indication for music.
