Simple horizontal LinearScale

[Bill Sivill]

Greetings,  I am attempting to use the LinearScale to show a simple horizontal gauge with a Custom TickList that I am attempting to databind the ItemsSource to a POCO.  I do not want any other tick marks to show on the gauge. Is this possible?  I keep getting an error about the ticks collection not being empty.

        <telerik:RadGauge Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,20,0,0" Name="radGauge1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="300">
            <telerik:LinearScale Name="linearScale" Orientation="Horizontal" Width="300" Height="40" Left="0.02" Top="0.06" MajorTicks="0"
                                     Min="0" Max="{Binding Resident.ResidentType.CareLevels, Converter={StaticResource CareLevelToMaxRangeConverter}}"
                                     StartWidth="0.02" EndWidth="0.02" StrokeThickness="0.5">
                <telerik:TickList ItemsSource="{Binding Resident.ResidentType.CareLevels, Converter={StaticResource CareLevelToTicksConverter}}">
                </telerik:TickList>
                <telerik:RangeList ItemsSource="{Binding Resident.ResidentType.CareLevels, Converter={StaticResource CareLevelToRangeConverter}}"/>
                <telerik:IndicatorList>
                    <telerik:LinearBar Width="10" Name="linearBar" TooltipFormat="Daily Minutes: {0:F1}"
                                        Value="50"
                                        Location="CenterInside" SnapType="None"/>
                </telerik:IndicatorList>
            </telerik:LinearScale>

        </telerik:RadGauge>

Hi Bill,

We're sorry, because of a specific of TickList functionality it doesn't support databinding. Please, accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

All the best,

Is this still the case with the Q2 release? In our application, the scale is different based on various pieces of data. If there is no databinding support, what is the recommended method of dynamically setting up the tick marks?

Hi kilhoffer,

The Q2 release supports binding to the ItemsSource property of TickList.
Note that you should set the MajorTicks to "-1" to avoid adding standard tick marks to the list.
I've attached a small solution with data binding example.

Sincerely yours,
