Want to create a dash board with dials on it.

[hag]

I want to put in my app a screen with dials that will be 180 degree aand a pointer that will move base on the value of some variables.

Anybody with experience doing this. need some code and whatever info can be supplied.

Harvey,

The only native FW meter control I am aware of is the progress meter. I did a Google search and here is a round analog style ActiveX meter control. It costs just over $100.

You would have to write an interface--best would be a FW class wrapper.

I'm sure if you search you will find others.

Now to show my ignorance...what is an

FW class wrapper.

[James Bott]

Harvey,

A class wrapper is just a class that encapsulates the ActiveX code so it appears just like a regular FW class. Then you can add an include file to give it xBase syntax so then you could do something like:

@ 10,10 meter oMeter range 0,100...

Then:

oMeter:set(45)

Etc.

James

Uwe:

I check it out and let you know how it workd with FWH

[James Bott]

No, dot NET products cannot be used with FW. You have to have ActiveX products.

As far I know the only native solution is use tSelector from Ramon Avedaño.

Code: Select all  Expand view

REDEFINE SELECTOR oSelec1 VAR oDbf:Pixel OF oDlg ID 101 ;
            ORIGIN ANGLE 270 ;     // Degrees
            LAST ANGLE 90    ;  
            RANGE 100, 1     ;
            MARKS 10         ;
            COLORS CLR_CYAN  ;
            ON CHANGE oGetPixel:Refresh()

If not exactly what you wantt, I thing is a good starting point.

Biel thanks for the suggestion. Havn't had a chance to try it but I'll keep you posted on how it works.

[Silvio]

Do you trying with

oMeter := TPieMeter():New( nTotal, cSay, oWnd, @lEnd )

CLASS TPieMeter
....

Hello Harvey,

I still found another Distributor for AktiveX-Controls ( OCX )
compatible with VisualBasic, Delphi and C, C++

Some exsamples of the Bundle :














Maybe it is something You can need.
It is a bit expensive and I don't know, if You want to pay much money.
