Getting Started with WPF BulletGraph

This tutorial will walk you through the creation of a RadBulletGraph.

Assembly References

In order to use RadBulletGraph in your project you have to add a reference to the following assemblies:

• Telerik.Licensing.Runtime
• Telerik.Windows.Controls
• Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization
• Telerik.Windows.Data

You can find the required assemblies for each control from the suite in the Controls Dependencies help article.

With the 2025 Q1 release, the Telerik UI for WPF has a new licensing mechanism. You can learn more about it here.

Adding Telerik Assemblies Using NuGet

To use RadBulletGraph when working with NuGet packages, install the Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisulization.for.Wpf.Xaml package. The package name may vary slightly based on the Telerik dlls set - Xaml or NoXaml

Read more about NuGet installation in the Installing UI for WPF from NuGet Package article.

BulletGraph Types

The RadBulletGraph suite provides two controls - one horizontally arranged and one vertically.

• RadHorizontalBulletGraph

• RadVerticalBulletGraph

Visual Structure

The following image describes the main elements of the RadBulletGraph control.

Defining the RadBulletGraph

The following examples show how to define a simple horizontal and vertical bullet graphs.

Example 1: Defining horizontal bullet graph control

• XAML

<telerik:RadHorizontalBulletGraph FeaturedMeasure="60" 
                                  ComparativeMeasure="65"  
                                  ProjectedValue="75" 
                                  Maximum="100"> 
    <telerik:RadHorizontalBulletGraph.QualitativeRanges> 
        <telerik:QualitativeRange Brush="#A8A8A8" Value="150" /> 
        <telerik:QualitativeRange Brush="#C6C8C8" Value="225" /> 
        <telerik:QualitativeRange Brush="#E8E8E8" /> 
    </telerik:RadHorizontalBulletGraph.QualitativeRanges> 
</telerik:RadHorizontalBulletGraph>

Example 2: Defining vertical bullet graph control

• XAML

<telerik:RadVerticalBulletGraph FeaturedMeasure="60"  
                                ComparativeMeasure="65"  
                                ProjectedValue="75" 
                                Maximum="100"> 
    <telerik:RadVerticalBulletGraph.QualitativeRanges> 
        <telerik:QualitativeRange Brush="#A8A8A8" Value="150" /> 
        <telerik:QualitativeRange Brush="#C6C8C8" Value="225" /> 
        <telerik:QualitativeRange Brush="#E8E8E8" /> 
    </telerik:RadVerticalBulletGraph.QualitativeRanges> 
</telerik:RadVerticalBulletGraph>
