I would like to place a gauge on my form. I did an online search and there are quite a few programs but these programs are expensive for a newbie/hobbyist. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive way to accomplish this problem?
application type: Controlling servo or stepper motor.
the gauge you're trying to make: Analog to indicate the position in degrees to name one type.
the code you've used: To create a gauge. None.
the problem you're having: I don't know how to create a gauge.
Thank you for any help,
Ken

Search the articles for "C# gauge" and pick for the application type of your choice.

Dave,
I reposted my question. I hope in the proper format.

My answer doesn't change. Search the articles using the Search box above.

I have looked at the articles and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please advise.

Considering you haven't posted anything at all about your application type, the gauge you're trying to make, the code you've used, nor the problem you're having, it's quite impossible to help you.

Grrrrr!
Application type: Console, Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, MVC, ... ? Each draws differently, so yeah, it matters.

This is why I keep telling you to search the articles. You are not going to get a description of how to create a gauge in a couple of forums posts. There's just too much information.

What Dave means is that we have no idea what environment you are writing your code for: and since that will have a massive impact on what type of controls you can use it's a very relevant question - and one that only you can possibly answer!
So ... are you writing a Console app (text only, runs in a CMD prompt: hold the WINKEY and press R, then type "cmd" and press enter. If it looks like that, it's a Console app)?
Or are you using a GUI (buttons, textboxes, labels, icons, menus. If it looks like Visual Studio, it's a GUI app)?

In Visual Studio, it's a GUI app.

OK, good start.
So ... is it going to run directly on a desktop / lappie, a mobile device, or in a browser?

Ok, I'm starting to understand how a question should be structured.
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps a start could be :
I'm using Visual Studio xxxx
I'm developing something with Forms
My favourite programming language is C#
And ...
When using the search-function only of this Forum you will get some examples for Gauge-Controls - ready to use ...

Ralf,
Thank you for the suggestion.

Excellent!
Just remember that we can't see your screen, can't access your HDD, and can't read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.

Hi,
I want to create a layout like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zh3zfpzxjrl0ukg/Capture.PNG?dl=0[^]
I want a big space at top for scroll view and a narrow space at bottom for three buttons.
I tried this XAML:
<StackLayout Margin="5">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="10*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ScrollView>
<StackLayout x:Name="MyStack">
</StackLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="Add New Item" Clicked="Button_Clicked" />
<Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="Send" />
<Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Text="Reset" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
But it is not my desired layout.
Please help me.

Looks like XAML. What did Xamarin say?

Your top row is limited in height 10*. Swap the definition around so the top row gets the *

If you mean his "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity" message, it's not directed at anyone - it's in the signature area, so it's a "generic message" applied to all posted messages, just as the three lines below this one are.

It is a quote from a book by Robert Heinlein (RAH). If you note the line drawn above the signature, it defines the start of the signature area.
