Using gauge in Telerik report

[Alexandre]

Hi,

Is there a way to add a gauge chart in a Telerik report? It is really important for us...

Thank you

Alex

Hello Alexandre,

There are no gauges in the current version of Telerik Reporting. We have plans to improve the chart item and would consider implementation of gauges for a future version of the product.

In the meantime you can use a 3rd party gauge control, save it to an image and use it via the PictureBox inside the report.

Kind regards,

Hi Giancarlo,

Every Gauge component produces images and thus if you have a 3rd party library/component that can create the gauges you desire, then you can use our PictureBox item to show this image. For example you can define a user function that returns the image and feed the picturebox item with it e.g.:

Copy Code

Copy Code

public static Image GetGaugeImage()

{

    // This is pseudo code

    MyGauge gaugeEngine = new MyGauge()
    //set up the gauge here

    return gaugeEngine.GetImage();

}

And use this UserFunction in the PictureBox Value expression:

    = GetGaugeImage()

Kind regards,

It is 2018, do you guys have Gauge now in Telerik Reporting library? I could not find one.

Hi Senthil,

Gauge controls as the RadGauge support animation and other features which are not proper for a static document as a report should be. We can suggest you to use already rendered image of a gauge in a PictureBox item within the report definition. 

For future versions of Telerik Reporting, a feature request is already available in our Feedback & Ideas portal (Introduce gauges report item) and you can vote for it. In future versions of our product we consider for implementation the most demanded features, so if it has more votes, we'll move it up in our implementation list.
