Figure 2-3. Slide, Tank, and Thermometer Controls
With the slide, tank, and thermometer controls and the classes that interface
with them, you can perform the following operations:
• Fill the minimum or maximum value of the scale.
• Position the scale horizontally with left, right, or both and position the
scale vertically with top, bottom, or both.
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.
• Bind the value to a .NET data source using .NET data binding.
• 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.
• Customize the appearance of the control using 3D lab styles or classic
2D styles and change the color and length of ticks and labels.
• Configure the format of value labels to engineering or date/time.
