[Tutor] getting a wx.gauge to close!

Thu Dec 31 16:59:00 CET 2009

Alan,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping there might be a quick fix, and it is
really a wx.Frame, that contains the wx.gauge.

Here's the story. I'm using SPSS. I have written this program to create
a list of doctors from medical claims data to be used in another module
where I have set up check boxes that trigger an analysis to be run for
whatever doctor's box is checked. The program is running with the SPSS
Python-Integration Package, and is running externally, not in SPSS. I
just needed some indicator that the process was running because it can
take a long time (15, 20, or 30 minutes, depending on the size of the
claims file which can be more than 4gb).

Okay, here's the syntax. Please excuse any sloppiness in my form. I'm
just 
learning. 

I really appreciate the help!

I've no idea what you've done but guages don't normally go away. 
The window/dialog they are in sometimes goes away, but without knowing 
how you have constructed your GUI for the guage, what events it 
is monitoring etc it is impossible to give you any real advice.
