The properties displayed by this tab expose much of the Gauge control's API (see the Programmers Reference). The entire API is exposed in the Code Editor. |
Selected Object
The selected gauge object. It is this object that the advanced properties are applied to, and different properties will be displayed, dependent on the type of the selected object.
End-users can select objects in the Sample Gauge window by clicking on the desired element (e.g. click inside the displayed gauge to select an object).
Of particular importance are the numerous collection properties of the control which are used for the addition of various gauge elements (e.g. the control's Images, CircularGauges, LinearGauges, Labels, NumericIndicators and StateIndicators properties).
Properties
This window displays the properties of the selected object, and as a result different properties will be displayed, dependent on the type of selected object.
String dialog properties can be either a string constant or a report expression.
We highly recommend using the Programmers Reference section in the documentation for a description of all Gauge control objects and properties.
Description Pane
Brief description of the selected property.

For more information see the Code Editor topic.
