DTThemedGauge Pointer Change 7 years 4 months ago #10130

Hi I recently found Code Typhon and love it. I am thinking of a little project that needs a couple of analogue gauges. The DTThemedGauge look suitable. I would like to change the pointer color depending on the input value. I can change the pointer color statically but do not seem to be able to change it dynamically. I just get errors when I try to do it using something like

If DTThemedGauge1.position >= 80 then DTThemedGauge1.Pointer.Color := clRed ;

So is it possible to reference the gauge pointer in the code and change the color ?

I am not overly familiar with Pascal so apologies in advance.

Thanks Mark.

SOLVED:-

If DTThemedGauge1.position >= 80 then DTThemedGauge1.PointerCapSettings.Fillcolor := clRed ;
If DTThemedGauge1.position >= 80 then DTThemedGauge1.PointerSettings.color := clRed ;

This turns the needle and the needle cap red when the trigger value is reached. Just needed to do a bit more digging.
Thanks , kind regards Mark.
