- A gauge is a horizontal or vertical bar which shows a quantity (often time).
+ 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 wxGauge::SetValue
- and wxGauge::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 wxGauge::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.
