Gauge Class

Contains measures that provide data for a gauge in the GaugeDashboardItem.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v23.1.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Dashboard.Core, DevExpress.Win.Dashboard.Design

Declaration

C#

public class Gauge :
    KpiElement

VB.NET

Public Class Gauge
    Inherits KpiElement

Related API Members

The following members return Gauge objects:

• GaugeContext.GetDashboardItemGauge(GaugeDashboardItem, IGauge)
• GaugeExportContext.GetDashboardItemGauge(GaugeDashboardItem, XRDashboardGauge)

Remarks

Gauges displayed within the GaugeDashboardItem show the actual and target value of a particular parameter, as well as the difference between them. Data used to calculate the actual and target values is provided by a pair of measures - one Measure for each value.

The Gauge objects stored in the GaugeDashboardItem.Gauges collection specify these measures via the KpiElement.ActualValue and KpiElement.TargetValue properties.

The GaugeDashboardItem creates one gauge for each Gauge object in the GaugeDashboardItem.Gauges collection. If the SeriesDashboardItem.SeriesDimensions collection is not empty, multiple gauges are created for each Gauge object - one gauge for each dimension value. To learn more, see GaugeDashboardItem.Gauges.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to bind a Gauge dashboard item to data in code.
