How to get transparent effects of the WinForms RadialGauge?
Transparent effects of RadialGauge
The WinForms RadialGauge contains specific color for each and every item, by default. So, you have to specify the colors for the items to be customized. For example, Transparent look and feel can be achieved by applying the transparent color from the following properties.
- BackgroundGradientEndColor
- BackgroundGradientStartColor
- GaugeArcColor
- InnerFrameGradientEndColor
- InnerFrameGradientStartColor
- InterLinesColor
- MajorTickMarkColor
- MinorTickMarkColor
- OuterFrameGradientEndColor
- OuterFrameGradientStartColor
- ScaleLabelColor
C#
//Sets transparent effects to the Radial Gauge. this.radialGauge1.BackgroundGradientEndColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.BackgroundGradientStartColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.GaugeArcColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.InnerFrameGradientEndColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.InnerFrameGradientStartColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.InterLinesColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.MajorTickMarkColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.MinorTickMarkColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.OuterFrameGradientEndColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.OuterFrameGradientStartColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; this.radialGauge1.ScaleLabelColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent; //Shows the needle in the RadialGauge. this.radialGauge1.ShowNeedle = true; //Changes the style of the needle. this.radialGauge1.NeedleStyle = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Gauge.NeedleStyle.Advanced;
