Display request progress status with Cairngorm.

Question

Hi,
I need to download a dinamically server generated file. So I would like to display the download progress once the delegate class has invoked the remote service.
One of the ways I was thinking to solve this is to create a process class that implements an interface called lets say.. "IProcess" so this interface would contain methods definitions like:
get processPercentProgress():Number
get processTotalSize():Number
get processProgress():Number
get processStatus():String //to return things like pending|inprogress|complete... and so on
get processElapsedTime():Number
(the class that implements this interface will be bindable)
So the DownloadEvent (Cairngorm event subclass) will contain an instance that implements IProcess interface and both the presentation class that renders the progress and the delegate class that handles the file download will see and update this process properties.
From my point of view this solution doesn't look so ugly, but I wonder if there is some best/common practice to do this with Cairngorm 2.
any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Hi Haishai
Thanks for replyin,
Create two panels. Use border Layout for contentPane() .
panel1 in CENTER panel2 in SOUTH. panel1 contains desktoppane, panel2 contains status bar & progress bar. right
I have done it already.
1) Within panel1 I am displaying JInternal frame
2) In panel2 I have created status bar
But my problem is :
1) Progress Bar should be display in status bar.
2) Functionality of progress bar should take place in JInrenalFrame
Can I use Progress Bar Object which has been created in desktop Pane(), & progress bars value should be changed in JInrenalFrame.
Is it possible?
Thanx in advanced.
