There are no user commands for the gauge.

\membersection{wxGauge::wxGauge}\label{wxgaugeconstr}

\func{}{wxGauge}{\void}

Default constructor.

\func{}{wxGauge}{\param{wxWindow* }{parent}, \param{wxWindowID }{id},\rtfsp
\param{int}{ range}, \param{const wxPoint\& }{ pos = wxDefaultPosition}, \param{const wxSize\&}{ size = wxDefaultSize},\rtfsp
\param{long}{ style = wxGA\_HORIZONTAL}, \param{const wxValidator\& }{validator = wxDefaultValidator}, \param{const wxString\& }{name = ``gauge"}}

Constructor, creating and showing a gauge.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{parent}{Window parent.}

\docparam{id}{Window identifier.}

\docparam{range}{Integer range (maximum value) of the gauge.}

\docparam{pos}{Window position.}

\docparam{size}{Window size.}

\docparam{style}{Gauge style. See \helpref{wxGauge}{wxgauge}.}

\docparam{name}{Window name.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

Under Windows 95, there are two different styles of gauge: normal gauge, and progress bar (when
the {\bf wxGA\_PROGRESSBAR} style is used). A progress bar is always horizontal.
