Re: How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

Well, Cint(circleHeight/15)-2 is probably as good as we can get it. Unless you have an automated method!

Re: How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

Well... For my redLine... What percentage of gauge.CircleHeight do I need to use for .HorizSize if I want my redLine to extend to the frame? Because if I use a fixed HorizSize of, say, 15 then the redLine extends outside of the frame when the CircleHeight is 150. Although, hey, I'll probably just sc...

Re: How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

OK, well, I do already have the code for the ticks. I was just hoping for a higher level function! Speaking of which... Do you have a style for these red and green lines that's uniform in width? I can't seem to find a way to do that. I don't really care for the changing width and, as in one of the p...

Re: How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

Well, we're closer. gauge.png I guess I'd like the ticks to resize, too, frankly. And to be different, of course. "Of course" because the customer always wants more, right? Anyway, in the visual editor the ticks seem to always end up as binaries in resources. The ones I have right now are hollow cir...

Re: How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

;) OK... Um. Hi! I'm stuck. I hate computers :) So... My installation is somehow hosed. When I'm editing in VisualStudio 2015 it doesn't save all of the values and some it saves incorrectly (with deprecated code). OK, OK, I get it. I have the wrong version of the designer. So, uh, where does the des...

Re: How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

To be clear, the first gauge is our implementation of the circular gauge. The second image is something we've done in another language on another platform with other tools. It would sure be nice if we could get our first gauge to look closer to that. Thx!

How can I add lines on gauge (and make them look better)?

OK... So... We use dial gauges all over the place and I'm finally ready to make them look better! This is what they look like now: dial1.png Not great, right? This one sure looks a lot nicer, doesn't it? dial2.png I'm fine with how the red bands come out but I would like things to look a little more...
