Description

wxGauge(3)                 Erlang Module Definition                 wxGauge(3)



NAME
       wxGauge - Functions for wxGauge class

DESCRIPTION
       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/2 and setRange/2)
       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/1 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.

       Styles

       This class supports the following styles:

       See: wxSlider, wxScrollBar

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxControl  wxWindow
       wxEvtHandler

EXPORTS
       new() -> wxGauge()

              Default constructor.

       new(Parent, Id, Range) -> wxGauge()

              Types:

                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()

       new(Parent, Id, Range, Options :: [Option]) -> wxGauge()

              Types:

                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Id = Range = integer()
                 Option =
                     {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
                     {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
                     {style, integer()} |
                     {validator, wx:wx_object()}

              Constructor, creating and showing a gauge.

              See: create/5

       destroy(This :: wxGauge()) -> ok

              Destructor, destroying the gauge.

       create(This, Parent, Id, Range) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()
                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Id = Range = integer()

       create(This, Parent, Id, Range, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()
                 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
                 Id = Range = integer()
                 Option =
                     {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
                     {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
                     {style, integer()} |
                     {validator, wx:wx_object()}

              Creates the gauge for two-step construction.

              See new/4 for further details.

       getRange(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()

              Returns the maximum position of the gauge.

              See: setRange/2

       getValue(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()

              Returns the current position of the gauge.

              See: setValue/2

       isVertical(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()

              Returns  true if the gauge is vertical (has wxGA_VERTICAL style)
              and false otherwise.

       setRange(This, Range) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()
                 Range = integer()

              Sets the range (maximum value) of the gauge.

              This function makes the gauge switch  to  determinate  mode,  if
              it's not already.

              When  the  gauge is in indeterminate mode, under wxMSW the gauge
              repeatedly goes from zero to range and back; under  other  ports
              when in indeterminate mode, the range setting is ignored.

              See: getRange/1

       setValue(This, Pos) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()
                 Pos = integer()

              Sets the position of the gauge.

              The  pos  must  be  between 0 and the gauge range as returned by
              getRange/1, inclusive.

              This function makes the gauge switch to determinate mode, if  it
              was in indeterminate mode before.

              See: getValue/1

       pulse(This) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxGauge()

              Switch  the  gauge to indeterminate mode (if required) and makes
              the gauge move a bit to indicate the user that some progress has
              been made.

              Note:  After  calling  this  function the value returned by get-
              Value/1 is undefined and thus you need to explicitly  call  set-
              Value/2 if you want to restore the determinate mode.
