How to drag the symbol pointer

 

Symbol pointer dragging

To obtain the same behavior, please follow the following code sample.

 

[XAML]

    <gauge:SfCircularGauge >
        <gauge:SfCircularGauge.Scales >
            <gauge:CircularScale LabelPosition="Custom"  Grid.Row="1" 
                                 RimStroke="LightGray" 
                                 RadiusFactor="1" ShowTicks="False"
                                 RimStrokeThickness="30"     
                                 StartValue="0" EndValue="100" Interval="10" 
                                 LabelOffset="0.75" LabelStroke="Black" FontSize="15">
                <gauge:CircularScale.Ranges>
                    <gauge:CircularRange StrokeThickness="30" StartValue="0" 
                                         x:Name="range" EndValue="25" 
                                         Stroke="DeepSkyBlue"/>
                </gauge:CircularScale.Ranges>
                <gauge:CircularScale.Pointers>
                    <gauge:CircularPointer PointerType="SymbolPointer" 
                                           Symbol="InvertedTriangle" 
                                           SymbolPointerHeight="18" SymbolPointerWidth="18"
                                           ValueChanged="CircularPointer_ValueChanged"  
                                           SymbolPointerStroke= “DeepSkyBlue" Value="25" 
                                           EnableAnimation="False" EnableDragging="True"/>
                </gauge:CircularScale.Pointers>
            </gauge:CircularScale>
        </gauge:SfCircularGauge.Scales>
    </gauge:SfCircularGauge>

How to drag the needle pointer

To construct the previous UI along with their dragging animation, please refer the following code sample.

 

 [XAML]

    <gauge:SfCircularGauge >
        <gauge:SfCircularGauge.Scales >
            <gauge:CircularScale LabelPosition="Custom"  Grid.Row="1" 
                                 RimStroke="LightGray" 
                                 RadiusFactor="1" ShowTicks="False"
                                 RimStrokeThickness="30"     
                                 StartValue="0" EndValue="100" Interval="10" 
                                 LabelOffset="0.75" LabelStroke="Black" FontSize="15">
                <gauge:CircularScale.Ranges>
                    <gauge:CircularRange StrokeThickness="30" StartValue="0" 
                                         x:Name="range" EndValue="25" 
                                         Stroke="DeepSkyBlue"/>
                </gauge:CircularScale.Ranges>
                <gauge:CircularScale.Pointers>
                    <gauge:CircularPointer  PointerType="NeedlePointer" NeedlePointerType="Triangle" Value="25"
                           NeedlePointerStroke="DeepSkyBlue" PointerCapDiameter="25" KnobStroke="DeepSkyBlue" KnobFill="DeepSkyBlue"
                           NeedleLengthFactor="0.7" NeedlePointerStrokeThickness="15" ValueChanged="CircularPointer_ValueChanged" EnableDragging="True"/>
                </gauge:CircularScale.Pointers>
            </gauge:CircularScale>
        </gauge:SfCircularGauge.Scales>
    </gauge:SfCircularGauge>

 

 

[C#]

        private void CircularPointer_ValueChanged(object sender, ValueChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            range.EndValue = e.Value;
        }
