How do I set the ScaleObject.Value property?

[Scott]

Hello,

In the first look on-line demo of the Gauge, you create a custom item like this:

<Path Style="{StaticResource CustomPin}"
                               telerik:ScaleObject.Value="200"
                               Data="M2.5,1 C1.7,1 1,1.7 1,2.5 C1,3.3 1.7,4 2.5,4 C3.3,4 4,3.3 4,2.5 C4,1.7 3,1 2.5,1 z M2.5,0 C4,0 5,1 5,2.5 C5,3.7 4.1,4.7 3,5 L3,5 L3,10 L2,10 L2,5 L2,5 C0.9,4.7 0,3.7 0,2.5 C0,1 1,0 2.5,0 z"/>

How can I set the ScaleObject.Value property via code instead of XAML?

I tried giving the PATH a name, but couldn't access the Value. Then tried setting it this way:

ThePath.SetValue(ScaleObject.ValueProperty,  40);

But received a run time error that said it was that: '40' is not a valid value for property 'Value'.

Any help would be appreciated,

Scott

Hi Scott,

The ScaleObject.ValueProperty has a double type. So, you must use the value of this type when you use the SetValue method like to the following way:

ThePath.SetValue(ScaleObject.ValueProperty,  40d);

But more correct way is in using the ScaleObject.SetValue method, because its value parameter is double. So, the converting of type will be performed automatically. The sample code is below.

ScaleObject.SetValue(ThePath, 40);
