Graphical Indicators in AX(Analogmeters) in Dynamics Ax

Description:-

Graphical indicators(Analogmeters) are used to display the results of a query or statistics related to measurements.

For each graphical indicator, you need to define the following:

• A starting and ending value for a segmented semi-circle
• The maximum value for each segment, or area, of the semi-circle
• A header and a unit for all values
• A color for each segment, text, value, and background.

Here is a small job which will create form and analogmeter at runtime. Values(Min,Max,Posetc)are hardcoded in the below example.You can change the code to take the values from the tables. 

Code:-

static void createAnalogMeter(Args _args)
{
    Form   formBrowse;
    FormActivexControl activex;
    FormRun formRun;
    Args    args;
    TreeNode treeNode;
    Object  waitObject = new Object();
    ;
    formBrowse = new Form('AnalogMeter Example', true);
    formBrowse.design().width(500);    formBrowse.design().height(500);
    formBrowse.design().caption('Analogmeter');
    formBrowse.design().addControl(FormControlType::ActiveX, 'Browser');
    args = new Args(formBrowse.name());    args.name(formBrowse.name());
    args.object(formBrowse);
    formRun = classFactory.formRunClass(args);
    formRun.init();
    activex = formRun.design().controlName('Browser');
    activex.height(1,1);    activex.width(1,1);
    activex.className('{706FF037-D46D-11D2-AB8D-0008C7631C69}');
    activex.BackColor(winapi::RGB2int(255,255,236));
    activex.displayHotArea(true);
    activex._Caption('Analog meter Example');
    activex.minValue(22000);    activex.maxValue(40000);
    activex.addMarker(25000,255,"This is where i stand");
    activex.NeedleColor(winapi::RGB2int(0,128,0));
    activex.pos(25000);
    formRun.run();    formRun.detach();
    while (activex.pos() != 40000)
    {
        waitObject.setTimeOut('Notify', 1000);
        waitObject.wait();
        activex.pos(activex.pos() + 1000);
    }
}
