RE: [wxperl-users] bug in wxGauge ?

[James L. <ja...@mi...>]

Hi Marco,
This is, apparently, a 'feature' in the progress bar control under
Windows (I assume that by 'gauge', you mean the progress bar).  The
maximum range or value is 65535 or so, and so setting the value above
this causes the gauge to show 100%.

I posted something on the wxWindows group about this, and Mattia and
others responded; I am not sure if there is a wxWindows or wxPerl fix
available yet, but there is an
easy workaround.

The workaround I used was to set the range to 100, for example (it could
be higher if you want greater granularity), and then set the value to a
proportion of this as the value you want to show increases. =20

i.e. something like:

$this->{gauge}->SetRange(5000);
.
.
.

my $nGauge_value =3D $nValue/5000;
$this->{gauge}->SetValue($nGauge_value);
.
.
.

I believe that this is how the fix to wxWindows will be done (i.e. the
actual range and value will be limited internally), in the Windows
implementation.  However, I'm not sure if this has been implemented yet.
Mattia will know, I think.

James
