Circular Gauge CustomImage Needle

The CustomImage needle type will draw the image at its native resolution, so it will not grow as the gauge changes size.

You mention you are looking at CustomImage because the geometry paths are not resizing. Maybe we could focus on that instead? Could you post a quick sample of what you're trying to do with geometry paths that isn't working? If its more complex than a forum post, could you send a sample to our support email address and remove the bin/obj folders from the zip file?

Ok, thanks for the info.

Here is a sample of my code. The needle is a geometry path and it is always the same absolute size, it doesn't shrink/grow as the rest of the gauge.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for providing the sample XAML. It looks like the issue is that the PointerAscent and PointerExtent values are expressed as absolute sizes. If you want the geometry to grow dynamically with the gauge, the sizes need to be expressed as a percentage. I pasted your sample needle into our Dynamic Sizing QuickStart for Gauge and then changed the PointerAccent from "100" to "100%" and the PointerExtent from "25" to "25%". With that change, I see the needle geometry scale up and down as the gauge is resized.

Thank you very much, it works as expected !

I don't know how I missed it.

Have a nice day.
