StateIndicator Class

Represents the base class for state indicators within gauges of all types.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraGauges.Core.Model

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraGauges.v25.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Gauges.Core

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public class StateIndicator :
    BaseScaleIndependentComponent<BaseStateIndicatorProvider>,
    IStateIndicator,
    IPrimitive,
    IBaseObject,
    IDisposable,
    ISupportLockUpdate,
    ISupportAssign<StateIndicator>

Public Class StateIndicator
    Inherits BaseScaleIndependentComponent(Of BaseStateIndicatorProvider)
    Implements IStateIndicator,
               IPrimitive,
               IBaseObject,
               IDisposable,
               ISupportLockUpdate,
               ISupportAssign(Of StateIndicator)

Remarks

Each state indicator has a fixed set of states and images corresponding to these states. When a specific state is activated, the indicator displays the corresponding image.

To define states, use the StateIndicator.States property. To select a specific state, use the StateIndicator.StateIndex property.

Example

The following example shows how to create a state indicator gauge.

In the example a state indicator gauge is created using the GaugeControlBase.AddStateIndicatorGauge method. Then, a state indicator containing four states is added to this gauge. To set the initial state for the state indicator, the StateIndicator.StateIndex property is used.

The result is displayed below:

    stateIndicator.States.Add(state);
}

// Set the current state.
stateIndicator.StateIndex = 1;

// Set the indicator's size.
stateIndicator.Size = new SizeF(100, 200);

// Add the gauge control to the form.
gc.Size = new Size(250, 250);
gc.Parent = this;
