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.
