Tank Range.Maximum cannot be changed

[amienc]

I've just started with MS C# (2005) and have developed a "tank" based app.
I set the tank's Range max and min in design.
When I try to change the maximum / minimum Range, it complains about "read-only" property.
I then should set it in the constructor ?

Any help on the code in C# how this can be done ?

Amien,

That is correct.  When assigning the Range values for any of the Numeric Pointer controls you must construct a new Range object.  The Range.Maximum and Range.Minimum are read only properties.

Tank1.Range = new Range(-10.0, 10.0);

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Hi Tyler

Thanks a million. It works and I have now a fully functional Measurement Studio application in VS 2005.
This will allow the ranges to be set by our hardware. We have 3 ranges (1 - 9 pA; 10 - 99 pA; 100 - 999 pA);

Thanks again.
