Continuously Variable Ring Control

Hi all, I have a problem I would love some help with. Basically, I am looking for a continuously variable ring meter control. I have the following control:



And I would like to be able to just call SetCtrlVal( panel_handle, PANEL_RINGMETER, display_value ) and the control will automatically display the correct value. As far as I can tell, you have to specifiy each possible value that you want to display.

Does anyone have any idea how to display arbitrary values on this ring control, or accomplish something similar?

I assume what you want is the numeric meter. Ring controls by nature limit their valid values to a specified set; the numeric meter looks the same as the ring but allows any value in their range to be displayed. Do you want the scale text to display the exact value? The numeric meter will not do this but does have a digital display that shows the value.
 
If there is some reason the numeric meter does not meet your needs, post with some more details and I can give you some more detailed advice.
