    @class wxGauge

    A gauge is a horizontal or vertical bar which shows a quantity (often
    time).

    wxGauge supports two working modes: determinate and indeterminate progress.

    The first is the usual working mode (see SetValue() and SetRange()) while
    the second can be used when the program is doing some processing but you
    don't know how much progress is being done. In this case, you can
    periodically call the Pulse() function to make the progress bar switch to
    indeterminate mode (graphically it's usually a set of blocks which move or
    bounce in the bar control).

    wxGauge supports dynamic switch between these two work modes.

    There are no user commands for the gauge.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxGA_HORIZONTAL}
           Creates a horizontal gauge.
    @style{wxGA_VERTICAL}
           Creates a vertical gauge.
    @style{wxGA_SMOOTH}
           Creates smooth progress bar with one pixel wide update step (not
           supported by all platforms).
