Answered Set the foreground in Radial Gauge

Hello,

I'm looking to change the foreground of the Radial Gauge but when i set Foreground="Blue" nothing seems to happen. So i thought the next logical step was to go into blend and edit the template. However this is all i get...

<ControlTemplate x:Key="RadGaugeControlTemplate1" TargetType="telerik:RadGauge"/>

I'd also like to edit the template to look similar to the Metro theme.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks Much,
~Boots

Hi Boots,

The RadGauge control itself is just a container for real gauges (radial or linear). The RadialGauge and LinearGauge are containers for the scale objects. The tick mark labels belong to the scale objects. So any changes made for Foreground property of the RadGauge, RadialGauge or LinearGauge objects doesn't affect foreground of the tick mark labels. You can change Foreground of the tick mark labels as following:

<telerik:RadGauge x:Name="radGauge">

    <telerik:RadialGauge>

        <telerik:RadialScale x:Name="linearScale">

            <telerik:RadialScale.Label>

                <telerik:LabelProperties Foreground="Red" />

            </telerik:RadialScale.Label>

            <telerik:IndicatorList>

                <telerik:Needle />

            </telerik:IndicatorList>

        </telerik:RadialScale>

    </telerik:RadialGauge>

</telerik:RadGauge>

Unfortunately it is not possible to get templates for the current version of the RadGauge control in Blend.
