Apply the Solid Brush Element at Run Time

Applying the Texture brush element to a property of your gauge gives the property a textured look and feel such as a canvas.

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

  1. 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;
  1. Create the load event.

  2. Create instances of the classes:

In Visual Basic:

Dim myTextureBrushElement As New TextureBrushElement()
Dim myRadialGauge As RadialGauge = Me.UltraGauge1.Gauges(0)

In C#:

TextureBrushElement myTextureBrushElement = new TextureBrushElement();
RadialGauge myRadialGauge = this.ultraGauge1.Gauges[0] as RadialGauge;
  1. Set the following properties:

    • end color — Silver

    • start color — DimGray

    • texture style — Canvas.

In Visual Basic:

myTextureBrushElement.EndColor = System.Drawing.Color.Silver
myTextureBrushElement.StartColor = System.Drawing.Color.DimGray
myTextureBrushElement.Texture = Infragistics.UltraGauge.Resources.Texture.Canvas
myRadialGauge.Dial.BrushElement = myTextureBrushElement

In C#:

myTextureBrushElement.EndColor = System.Drawing.Color.Silver;
myTextureBrushElement.StartColor = System.Drawing.Color.DimGray;
myTextureBrushElement.Texture = Infragistics.UltraGauge.Resources.Texture.Canvas;
myRadialGauge.Dial.BrushElement = myTextureBrushElement;
