<!--main RadGauge root container -->

<telerik:RadGauge Name="radGauge" Width="300" Height="300">

<!-- Add RadialGauge container to the internal RadGauge layout. -->

<telerik:RadialGauge>

<!-- Now you can insert RadialScale object into the radial gauge container for further configuration. For example, you can set Min and Max properties of the scale: -->

<telerik:RadialScale Name="radialScale" Min="0" Max="1000">

<!-- The last object you have to add is indicator (for example, needle indicator). You have to insert the list of the indicators to the radial scale object and then add needle indicator there: -->

<telerik:IndicatorList>


<telerik:Needle Name="needle" Value="100"/>


</telerik:IndicatorList>

</telerik:RadialScale>

</telerik:RadialGauge>

</telerik:RadGauge>

Hello Jeffrey,

You can simply assign new value to the Value property of the needle to move it to different position. In your C# code you can do it for example using the Loaded event.

public Home()

{

    InitializeComponent();


    Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Home_Loaded);

}


void Home_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

    this.needle.Value = 500d;

}

All the best,
