linear gauge width

I am trying to modify the width of the a linear gauge, and am not having any luck. Currently, we have somve values in the 100 millions, and the Tick Mark Text becomes too wide, and the last couple of digits wrap around. We have plenty of space to work with, but I have been unable to figure out how to make the gauge wider. Just to clarify, the GaugeControl has a lot of unused width, but I can't figure out how to make the Gauge use it.

Hello Garrett,

You cannot change the linear gauge width because it is resized proportionally. Instead, i recommend that you use scientific format for your values, for example"

scale.MajorTickmark.FormatString = "{0:E0}";

Thank you,
Paul
