HELP!!! Custom Label for Radial Gauge

[James]

I need to be able to add a Custom Label to a Radial Gauge that will contain text indicating the status of the value being presented.  I am using the WPF Q2 2011 gauges and because of a time crunch I will not be able to upgrade the gauges to a newer version.  I know that the next version of gauge has this ability.  Please if anyone knows how to add a text label as indicated I need to know this quickly.  Thank you for your time and consideration on this question.

Hello James,

You can use the CustomTickMark element to show the label of the value. I would recommend to create additional scale which will contain this element for ability to set the label properties like Location separately. The sample code is below.

private void CreateRadialGaugeWithValueLabel()
{
    RadialGauge gauge = new RadialGauge();

    LayoutRoot.Children.Add(gauge);

    RadialScale radialScale = new RadialScale()
    {
        Label = new LabelProperties()
        {
            Location = ScaleObjectLocation.Inside
        }
    };
    gauge.Items.Add(radialScale);

    RadialScale customTickMarkScale = new RadialScale()
    {
        MajorTicks = -1,
        Label = new LabelProperties()
        {
            Location = ScaleObjectLocation.Outside
        }
    };
    gauge.Items.Add(customTickMarkScale);

    Marker marker = new Marker()
    {
        Location = ScaleObjectLocation.OverCenter,
        RelativeWidth = 0.1,
        RelativeHeight = 0.1,
        Value = 85
    };

    customTickMarkScale.Indicators.Add(marker);

    CustomTickMark tick = new CustomTickMark()
    {
        Format = "{0:F2}",
        Template = null
    };

    Binding binding = new Binding();
    binding.Source = marker;
    binding.Path = new PropertyPath("Value");
    tick.SetBinding(CustomTickMark.ValueProperty, binding);

    customTickMarkScale.Ticks.Add(tick);
}
