21
22 A gauge is a horizontal or vertical bar which shows a quantity (often
23 time).
24
25 wxGauge supports two working modes: determinate and indeterminate progress.
26
27 The first is the usual working mode (see SetValue() and SetRange()) while
28 the second can be used when the program is doing some processing but you
29 don't know how much progress is being done. In this case, you can
30 periodically call the Pulse() function to make the progress bar switch to
31 indeterminate mode (graphically it's usually a set of blocks which move or
32 bounce in the bar control).
33
34 wxGauge supports dynamic switch between these two work modes.
35
36 There are no user commands for the gauge.
