Gauge Control for C++ Application

Question

Can anyone suggest good Gauge controls to use in application using C++. The Gauges will be used in application monitoring Temperature, Pressure or Flow devices. Please let me know about any commercial or free libraries that works on pure C++, without any dependency on .Net framework

Thanks,

Answer 1

QWT is an extension to the Qt GUI library. You can use this library to create Dials, Compasses, Knobs, Wheels, Sliders, Thermos etc.

Also check QGauge

Answer 2

Here you go. It is completely free but for commercial use you should probably pay license fee.

Answer 3

For wxWidgets there are the (free) wxIndustrial controls.

Also you'll find more controls at wxCode.

Answer 4

I suggest you to give a look to National Instrument's Measurement Studio.

I am adding the link: NI-Measurement Studio

The title might be a bit confusing since it says: NI Measurement Studio for Unmanaged Visual C++ .NET but Measurement Studio 2009 (and previous) also has C++ libraries that do not depend upon the .NET framework. They are MFC controls.

In that same page, you can actually clic the link to try it and decide for yourself.
