Getting started with TMS FNC Widget Arrow

Prerequisites

• TMS FNC Core installed and the runtime package added to the project.
• TMS FNC Dashboard Pack design-time package registered in the IDE.

Add the control

1. Drop TTMSFNCWidgetArrow from the TMS FNC Dashboard palette page onto a form.
2. Set Value to an angle in the -90..+90 range to point the arrow.
3. Optionally set CaptionOptions.Text to label the widget.

The minimal widget — point the arrow at a value and label it:

Show a trend with the arrow widgetPascalC++

procedure TForm1.SetupArrow;
begin
  FArrow := TTMSFNCWidgetArrow.Create(Self);
  FArrow.Parent := Self;
  FArrow.SetBounds(20, 20, 220, 180);

  // Value is an angle in the -90..+90 range: the arrow tilts from down-left
  // (-90) through up (0) to down-right (+90), so higher reads as a better trend.
  FArrow.Value := 45;
  FArrow.CaptionOptions.Text := 'Overall Progress';
end;

void __fastcall TForm1::SetupArrow()
{
  FArrow = new TTMSFNCWidgetArrow(this);
  FArrow->Parent = this;
  FArrow->SetBounds(20, 20, 220, 180);

  // Value is an angle in the -90..+90 range: the arrow tilts from down-left
  // (-90) through up (0) to down-right (+90), so higher reads as a better trend.
  FArrow->Value = 45;
  FArrow->CaptionOptions->Text = "Overall Progress";
}
