XtraGauges Suite adds style chooser dialog

XtraGauges Suite ships with over 150 built-in presets and is extremely easy to use; all you need to do is drop a control onto a form. You won't have to manually create elements, customize their appearance, size or layout. Simply choose the template you like best, bind your control to data and you are ready to go. With XtraGauges Suite You can place multiple gauges into one container and enable automatic arrangement. The container will determine the best possible gauge layout for its current size and proportions. If you resize your form, gauges are proportionally resized and their layout is updated so that they use form space most efficiently. XtraGauges Suite ships with comprehensive documentation together with demo applications so you can hit the ground running and deliver stunning gauges with your next WinForms application.

Updates in v2011 vol 1

• Style Chooser Dialog - With this release, DevExpress have added a Style Chooser dialog for the WinForms Gauge Controls. This new dialog allows you to quickly change the current gauge style (its shape, theme, or both).
• Style Manager Dialog - The Style Manager dialog is designed to control all gauge styles within a gauge container and to define associated layout settings.
• Look and Feel Support - DevExpress WinForms Gauge Controls now support the WinForms look-and-feel system - Gauge background and border colors are automatically altered to match the characteristics of the appropriate skin. You can also control whether a Gauge control maintains its own look-and-feel or uses application-wide skin settings.
• Custom Draw for Gauge Elements - In this release, DevExpress have added a new event that allows you to manually draw gauge elements and thus fully redefine appearance.
• Layout Enhancements - You now have a greater control over the layout of gauge elements in AutoLayout mode. You can specify padding and indent values when a gauge container automatically aligns individual gauge elements.
