Apply the Radial Gradient Brush Element at Run Time

If you want two colors on the property of your gauge to blend into each other in circular way, apply the Radial Gradient brush element to the property.

To apply the Radial Gradient brush element to a property of your gauge using code:

Before you start writing any code, you should place using/Imports directives in your code-behind so you don’t need to always type out a member’s fully qualified name.

In Visual Basic:

Imports Infragistics.UltraGauge.Resources

In C#:

using Infragistics.UltraGauge.Resources;

Create the load event.
Create an instances of the classes.

In Visual Basic:

Dim radialGradientBrushElement1 As New RadialGradientBrushElement()
Dim myRadialGauge As RadialGauge = Me.UltraGauge1.Gauges(0)
Dim centerPoint As New System.Drawing.PointF()
Dim focusScales As New System.Drawing.PointF()

In C#:

RadialGradientBrushElement radialGradientBrushElement1 =
  new RadialGradientBrushElement();
RadialGauge myRadialGauge = this.ultraGauge1.Gauges[0] as RadialGauge;
System.Drawing.PointF centerPoint = new System.Drawing.PointF();
System.Drawing.PointF focusScales = new System.Drawing.PointF();

Set the following properties:
- center color — Peach Puff
- surround color — Sandy Brown
- center point — 25, 25
- focus point — 0, 0

In Visual Basic:

centerPoint.X = 25
centerPoint.Y = 25
focusScales.X = 0
focusScales.Y = 0
radialGradientBrushElement1.CenterColor = System.Drawing.Color.PeachPuff
radialGradientBrushElement1.CenterPoint = centerPoint
radialGradientBrushElement1.FocusScales = focusScales
radialGradientBrushElement1.RelativeBounds = _
  New System.Drawing.Rectangle(3, 3, 94, 94)
radialGradientBrushElement1.RelativeBoundsMeasure = _
  Infragistics.UltraGauge.Resources.Measure.Percent
radialGradientBrushElement1.SurroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.SandyBrown
myRadialGauge.Dial.BrushElement = radialGradientBrushElement1

In C#:

centerPoint.X = 75;
centerPoint.Y = 25;
focusScales.X = 0;
focusScales.Y = 0;
radialGradientBrushElement1.CenterColor = System.Drawing.Color.PeachPuff;
radialGradientBrushElement1.CenterPoint = centerPoint;
radialGradientBrushElement1.FocusScales = focusScales;
radialGradientBrushElement1.RelativeBounds =
  new System.Drawing.Rectangle(3, 3, 94, 94);
radialGradientBrushElement1.RelativeBoundsMeasure =
  Infragistics.UltraGauge.Resources.Measure.Percent;
radialGradientBrushElement1.SurroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.SandyBrown;
myRadialGauge.Dial.BrushElement = radialGradientBrushElement1;
