This article is a revised version of previous article named Windows Forms Controls in C# and .NET (Analog Meter).
I have made some revisions to the Meter Control that was posted on March 16, 2005.The Article was titled "Windows Forms Controls in C# and .NET (Analog Meter)".
The Meter is a custom control that visually simulates an analog meter to display varying input values. I wanted it to be as customizable as possible so I built in several features. The Meter is elliptical and is scalable. The following is a description of the revisions that were made to the meter.
The Revisions:
Customizable Properties:
The included demo program attempts to illustrates the flexibility, and the elliptical shape of the meter.
A couple of possible uses of the meter are system resource monitoring, & audio signals, but the possibilities are limitless.
1. Add the control to your toolbox.2. Drag and drop it onto your application. 3. Set it's NeedleVal property every time you want the needle to move.4. Enjoy!
