Specifying settings for Bullet gauges
When using the [Specify Gauge Settings] dialog box to create and configure gauges, the settings on the [Bullet] tab are used only when the gauge type is [Bullet] and control how these types of gauges display.
When modifying a gauge by script, use the GaugeSetProperty method or the GaugeGetProperty method to make these settings. Use the GaugeProperty enumeration.
This table lists the basic settings you can make on the [Bullet] tab. GaugeSetProperty and GaugeGetProperty property names are also listed.
