Gauge Keywords
Special keywords can be used in the Actions Tab of the Gauge Designer and Sub-Gauge Designer dialogs when setting a URL, bookmark or a report to jump to.
These keywords are case sensitive and represent some sort of gauge data. When the Gauge control is rendered these keywords are replaced with the data that they represent.
For example, using the keyword "#VALUE" in a target URL (when jumping to a URL) will result in the display of the Value property of that gauge element. Note (e.g. this is the main gauge element.).
Keyword Listing
The following is a listing and brief description of all possible keywords:
| Keyword | Replaced by |
|---|---|
| #INPUTVALUE1 | Current value of the value source, where "1" is the index of the value in the Values collection. This keyword can be used for all elements. |
| #POINTERVALUE1 | Current value of a pointer, where "1" is the index of the pointer in the Pointers collection of the control (e.g. container). This keyword can be used for circular and linear gauges only. |
| #VALUE | Current value of a gauge element. This keyword can be used for pointers, scales, numeric indicators and state indicators. |
| #STATE | An indicator's current state name. This keyword can be used for state indicators only. |
Formatting
Optional formatting may be applied to the keywords. For information concerning the types of formatting that can be used see the Formatting Types topic in the MSDN library.
