Inner gauge display problem on main value

[quanone]

 

Hi there,

 

I have installed several gauges with Inner gauge in my program. I
need to update the gauges periodically. The program I have is as below:

 

// update gauges

  private void timer2_Tick_1(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {  

 

 
radialGauge4.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate

  {

 
radialGauge4.MainValue = ReceiveSCSStatus.SCMDUCMtrspd_val;

 

  });

  radialGauge1.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate

  {

 
radialGauge1.MainValue = DynoRPM_val;

  });

  .

  .

  .

    }

 

The problem for above code is: this
periodic call slows down my program performance. So I tried to update
the gauges only when there is a change of the main value. The new code is as below:

 

// update gauges

  private void timer2_Tick_1(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {  

 

  if (ReceiveSCSStatus.SCMDUCMtrspd_val !=
Last_SCMDUCMtrspd_val)

{

 

 
radialGauge4.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate

  {

 
radialGauge4.MainValue = ReceiveSCSStatus.SCMDUCMtrspd_val;

 

  });

  }

  if (DynoRPM_val !=
Last_DynoRPM_val)

  {

 
radialGauge1.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate

  {

 
radialGauge1.MainValue = DynoRPM_val;

  });

  }

  .

  .

  .

    }

 

This way is theoretically correct. But when I run the program and change the
main value, the Inner gauge display does not got changed automatically. Only when
I break inside the loop, and run program again, then the new value comes out on the Inner gauge display . Do you know why this happens?

Also, when I design the gauges, the '.MainValue' is defaulted to

Hi quanone

If you want to modify the main value of the gauge, you need to use the radialGauge1.MainIndicator.Value property. Now, when you mentioned you want to set the main value to NONE, do you mean to ZERO? The gauge always needs to have a valid value.
