12
13 A gauge is a horizontal or vertical bar which shows a quantity (often
14 time).
15
16 wxGauge supports two working modes: determinate and indeterminate progress.
17
18 The first is the usual working mode (see SetValue() and SetRange()) while
19 the second can be used when the program is doing some processing but you
20 don't know how much progress is being done. In this case, you can
21 periodically call the Pulse() function to make the progress bar switch to
22 indeterminate mode (graphically it's usually a set of blocks which move or
23 bounce in the bar control).
24
25 wxGauge supports dynamic switch between these two work modes.
26
27 There are no user commands for the gauge.

31 Creates a horizontal gauge.
32 @style{wxGA_VERTICAL}
33 Creates a vertical gauge.
34 @style{wxGA_SMOOTH}
35 Creates smooth progress bar with one pixel wide update step (not
36 supported by all platforms).
