Legend Control
Use the Measurement Studio legend control, as shown in Figure2-1, to
display symbols and descriptions for a specific set of elements of another
object, such as the plots or cursors of a graph. When you associate the
legend control with another object, any changes you make to that object are
automatically reflected in the legend. For example, if you associate the
legend control with the plots of a graph, any changes you make in the plots
collection editor are automatically reflected in the legend.
Tip For more information about using the legend control, refer to the Using the
Measurement Studio Windows Forms Legend .NET Control section in the NI Measurement
Studio Help.
Numeric Controls
Use the Measurement Studio numeric controls to display numerical
information, on a Windows Forms user interface, with the look of scientific
instruments. The numeric controls include a knob, gauge, meter, slide,
thermometer, and tank. The following sections describe operations
available with the controls and the classes that interface with them.
With all of the numeric controls and the classes that interface with them,
you can perform the following operations:
• Configure the scale to be linear or logarithmic and toggle the visibility
of the scale.
• Fill the scale and configure the range, color, dimensions, and style of
the fill.
• Connect to the Measurement Studio .NET numeric edit control so that
if you change the value of one control, it changes the value of the other
control.
