    Half and quarter circle RadGauge.

    Recently John showed how to create half-circle gauges and now I am glad to announce that RadGauge, both WPF and Silverlight, supports half-circle and quarter-circle styles out of the box. All you need to do is provide the correct resource through a ResourceDictionary and then use the corresponding style. The styles are named after the major geographical directions -- North, East, South and West, well we only use the first letters here - N, E, S and W. So the styles you need are <Theme>RadialGaugeHalfCircle<Direction>Style and <Theme>RadialScaleHalfCircle<Direction>Style. Check the following example - semi-circular, south-directed vista-styled gauge: And this is the XAML used:        ...

    Making a RadGauge look like a Dial

    I have had several people ask me about whether Telerik offers a dial control.  I thought it might be interesting to try and leverage the RadGauge control to build something that looks like a dial.  Essentially the RadGauge offers all the capabilities you would need, it is just a matter of styling.  I decided to build a kitchen timer application so I could create a dial theme.  I am no artist, but I think my end result turned out pretty well.  The video below will demonstrate how I use Expression Blend to quickly get a 3D (ok, 3Dish, again I...

    Change the Office Black theme to support multiple Linear Scales using Expression Blend

    I recently posted an entry regarding the Radial Gauge for WPF where I demonstrated how you can create a half circle gauge.  Not long after that post, I received a question asking about Linear Gauges and how to use multiple scales in a single Linear Gauge.  It is not that there is a functional difference, but rather a visual difference.  The Office Black theme (shown below) has a border area in the middle where the linear gauges were overlapping causing a visual collision.  There are a number of ways that you can accomplish a task and I think one of...

    Creating a Half circle WPF RadGauge

    During a recent webinar, a question was asked about whether you can create a half circle gauge.  I recently covered this in my “Introducing RadGauge for WPF” webinar, but thought it would be good to have a quick blog post as well.  Below you will see a RadialGauge which contains two RadialScales placed along the left and right of the gauge.  This is actually very easy to produce since the RadialGauge is simply a container, you can place a number of scales inside of the gauge.      Here is the XAML for the screenshot...
