Is there a way to add a text indicator inside a radial gauge?
I have already defined a radial gauge that shows values from 0 to 100 on its radial scale, and the current value in the center of the gauge. I would also like to add a similar gauge that shows text instead numbers in the center. E.g. "Processing", "Calculating", "Complete", ... Human readable status text.
RadialScale.Indicators seems to be a UIElementCollection, so I tried adding a TextBlock object in the collection. However, it is not shown.

I think the CustomItems collection of the scale will work for you. You can find more about this in the Tick Marks article.

CustomItems did the trick. I also used Viewbox to scale the text during resizing.
One thing I noticed though is that you get a null exception if you put a Viewbox directly inside CustomItems. You need to put the Viewbox inside e.g. a Grid and then the Grid inside CustomItems.
Possible bug so something worth checking out. Stack trace ends in ScaleObject.GetHotSpot method.
Can you share some additional information on the exception. For example, you can show me the stack trace. Also, can you prepare some runnable code that demonstrates the error and share it here?
