Using the Gauge Control
First, place the Gauge control on your form. Then, using the property sheet, determine the appearance of the gauge using the following properties: EffectStyle, GaugeStyle, LineWidth, NeedleStyle, StartLocation, TickFrequency, and TickStyle.
To change the position of the needle, set the Value property. You can define minimum and maximum values using the Min and Max properties. If you try to set the Value property to a number that exceeds the Min and Max properties, a runtime error occurs.
