I have an accounting program and I would like to create a dashboard where I can display a number of dials that show data from a dbf. Any thoughts or code would be most helpful.

Hello Harvey, I still found another Distributor for AktiveX-Controls ( OCX ) compatible with VisualBasic, Delphi and C, C++ Some exsamples of the Bundle : http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/Aktivex1.jpg http://www.pflegeplus.com/pictures/Aktivex2.jpg http://www...

Do you trying with

oMeter := TPieMeter():New( nTotal, cSay, oWnd, @lEnd )

CLASS TPieMeter
....

Biel thanks for the suggestion. Havn't had a chance to try it but I'll keep you posted on how it works.

As far I know the only native solution is use tSelector from Ramon Avedaño. http://www.terra.es/personal/ravendano/SELECTOR.JPG REDEFINE SELECTOR oSelec1 VAR oDbf:Pixel OF oDlg ID 101 ;            ORIGIN ANGLE 270 ;     // Degrees            LAST ANGLE 90    ;               RANGE 100...

saved me wasting time...Thanks James.

No, dot NET products cannot be used with FW. You have to have ActiveX products.

Harvey,

A class wrapper is just a class that encapsulates the ActiveX code so it appears just like a regular FW class. Then you can add an include file to give it xBase syntax so then you could do something like:

@ 10,10 meter oMeter range 0,100...

Then:

oMeter:set(45)

Etc.

Now to show my ignorance...what is an

FW class wrapper.

Harvey, The only native FW meter control I am aware of is the progress meter. I did a Google search and here is a round analog style ActiveX meter control. It costs just over $100. http://www.cstsoft.com/english/list2.htm#meter You would have to write an interface--best would be a FW...
