LinearGaugeNeedleIndicator.cs >> LineLenght property, LenghtPercentage property

Please run the attached sample project and follow the steps illustrated in the attached gif file. The following exception occurs:

System.ArgumentException

IMPORTANT: If both colors are changed at design time and you set the Value of RadLinearGauge to 0, this will provoke a similar error leading Visual Studio to crash.

Workaround: specify a minimum width/height for the gauge:

this.radLinearGauge1.MinimumSize = new Size(1, (int)this.linearGaugeBar1.Offset+1);

 

 

To reproduce:
- Make sure there are atlest tow design asemblies in your GAC
- Create a new version and drop a gauge on the form.
- Visual Studio needs to be restarted.

To reproduce:
- Place a gauge on the form.
- Add panel over it.
- The gauge elements can be selected (see attached). 

The attched video shows how you can reproduce this. 

The attached video shows how this can be reproduced.

Workaround:
class MyLabel : RadialGaugeSingleLabel
{
    private RadRadialGaugeElement owner;
    protected override void OnParentChanged(RadElement previousParent)
    {
        base.OnParentChanged(previousParent);
        this.owner = (RadRadialGaugeElement) this.Parent;
    }
    public override GraphicsPath Path
    {
        get
        {
            GraphicsPath path = new GraphicsPath();
            float fontSizePercentage = this.Font.Size;
            var gaugeSize = (RectangleF)this.owner.GetType().GetProperty("GaugeSize", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(this.owner, null)  ;

            if (this.AutoSize)
            {
                fontSizePercentage = (gaugeSize.Width) * (this.LabelFontSize / 100f);
                if (fontSizePercentage <0)
                {
                    return path;

                }
            }
            return base.Path;
        }
    }
}

How to reproduce:
Open the attached project, change the name of the RadLinearGauge located on the first page. Save and Run the project. The gauges on the other pages will change their orientation to horizontal

Workaround:
Prior to rebuilding or running the application select in the VS designer each of the pages of RadPageView

Workaround: create a custom LinearGaugeLabels. Check the attached project for implementation.

To reproduce:
- Add RadLienarGauge to a scrollable panel.
- Start the application and scroll.
- You will notice that some elements are not painted correctly.

Workaround:
- Override the IsInVisibleClipBounds in each used element:

public class MyTicks : Telerik.WinControls.UI.Gauges.LinearGaugeTicks
{
    protected override bool IsInVisibleClipBounds(Rectangle clipRectangle)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

The designer is retrieving the assemblies names using the FullName property and when the name cointas some charters an exception is thrown.
This is why the gallery is not loaded in the designer.

This request concerns adding a new control called RadGauge to RadControls for WinForms. Similar controls for Silverlight can be observed at this link - http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Gauge/Gallery/LinearScale
