Supported view styles: Full, Half, Quarter Left, Quarter Right and Three Fourth.

The following properties allow you to customize the gauge scale and specify its displayed values.

 

Gauge6

Actual Value - specifies the value displayed by a gauge.

Target Value - specifies the position of the target value marker.

 

Bind a Gauge to Data

To bind the gauge's displayed value to data, click the control's smart tag and in the invoked actions list, expand the Expression drop-down list for the Actual Value property and select the required data field.

In the same way, you can bind the Target Value, Minimum and Maximum properties to data. To do this, expand the Expression drop-down list for the corresponding property and select the required data field.

Clicking the Expression option's ellipsis button invokes the Expression Editor, in which you can construct a complex binding expression involving two or more data fields.
