[Solved] Adding a label to the center of the gauge

[madladuk]

I'm trying to add a label into the center of the gauge but with no luck. I took a quick look at your samples and have the following;

 <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>


        <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                            Foreground="Black" FontFamily="CourierNew">
                        x $10,000
        </TextBlock>

    </Grid>

The gauge is being created from the code-behind;

Grid.SetRow(radGauge, 0);

                LayoutRoot.Children.Add(radGauge);

It appears as if the gauge is going over the text and therefore not showing, please can you advise.

Thanks

Hello Paul,

Yes, the gauge appears over the text for the sample code you've sent.
You can use the Insert method to insert the gauge before the text.

LayoutRoot.Children.Insert(0, radGauge);

Hi. Tried this and the label is still over-written by the gauge component.

Hello madladuk,

We cannot reproduce this issue using RadControls for Silverlight 4 version 2010.1 603.
Could you, please, send to us a small solution which reproduces this problem?

All the best,

another way to handle this is to put a border with a textblock and set the zindex of the border higher than the gauage. an example of how i accomplished this is below.

<Border BorderThickness="1" Canvas.ZIndex="1" BorderBrush="Black" Width="40" Height="20" Margin="0,50,0,0" Background="#FFCCCACA">
    <TextBlock x:Name="txtServiceGuageValue" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontSize="9.333" FontWeight="Bold">100.00</TextBlock>
   </Border>
    <control:RadGauge x:Name="radGauge" Width="177" Height="108">
