Numeric Indicator

Updated on Sep 24, 2025

The Numeric Indicator is an indicator that displays its Value property as a digital indicator device.character templating.

The appearance of characters in the numeric indicator could be specified with a set of different NumericIndicator.Positions like "HexagonalNumberPosition", "SevenSegsNumberPosition", "GraphicNumberPosition" and etc.

To add a numeric indicator to the scale you have to include NumericIndicator element to the list of the scale indicators:

XAML

	<telerik:RadVerticalLinearGauge Width="150" Height="50" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows8">
	    <telerik:NumericScale Min="0">
	        <telerik:NumericScale.Indicators>
	            <telerik:NumericIndicator Name="numericIndicator" Value="543.216" 
	                    Format="{}{0:F2}"
	                    Foreground="#FF1E8D00"
	                    telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeX="0"
	                    telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeY="0"
	                    telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeWidth="1*" 
	                    telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeHeight="1*">
	                <telerik:NumericIndicator.Positions>
	                    <telerik:HexagonalNumberPosition />
	                    <telerik:HexagonalNumberPosition />
	                    <telerik:HexagonalNumberPosition />
	                    <telerik:HexagonalNumberPosition />
	                    <telerik:HexagonalNumberPosition />
	                    <telerik:HexagonalNumberPosition />
	                </telerik:NumericIndicator.Positions>
	            </telerik:NumericIndicator>
	        </telerik:NumericScale.Indicators>
	    </telerik:NumericScale>
	</telerik:RadVerticalLinearGauge>

Every digital cell in the indicator is defined by a corresponding NumberPosition element. The topmost element in the list defines the rightmost digital cell.

The Numeric indicator supports the following features:

1. Layout

2. The 'telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeX' property specifies the position of Numeric Indicator left side relative to a scale width.

3. The 'telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeY' property specifies the position of Numeric Indicator top side relative to a scale height.

4. The 'telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeHeight' property specifies the height of the Numeric Indicator relative to a scale height.

5. The 'telerik:ScaleObject.RelativeWidth' property specifies the width of the Numeric Indicator relative to a scale height.

6. Appearance

7. The 'Format' property specifies the position of the decimal point.

8. The standard Telerik provided Numeric Indicator templates allow the use of the BorderBrush and the BorderThickness properties to draw a border.

9. Telerik provided styles allow using the most popular types of Numeric Indicators.

10. The refresh rate allows calculating the displayed value using values which are assigned during the specified interval according to the specified method.
