Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Gauges.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Gauges

Declaration

VB.NET

Public Property Animation As IndicatorAnimation

Property Value

Type	Description
IndicatorAnimation	An IndicatorAnimation object.

Remarks

Using the IndicatorAnimation object returned by the Animation property, you can change an animation’s duration and easing function via its IndicatorAnimation.Duration and IndicatorAnimation.EasingFunction properties, as well as turn the animation on or off for the current value indicator (via the AnimationBase.Enable property).

Example

This example demonstrates how to use animation effects in DXGauges.

To activate animation, set the GaugeControlBase.EnableAnimation property to True. After that, it becomes possible to customize the animation’s duration and easing function via its IndicatorAnimation.Duration and IndicatorAnimation.EasingFunction properties.
