I am using version 8.1... 

I have created a radial gauge that will have three tic marks.  The gauge is on the small side, and some of the numbers I will be using are quite large.  I need to be able to format the tick mark labels like so...  If i have a number like 85,565,000, then it needs to be formatted as $85.565 M where M stands for millions... you probably figured that out.  I have the routine to either return the formatted numbers, or return the format, but I cannot figure out how to get this format on the gauge.

Currently I am using gauge.Scales[0].Labels.FormatString = "<DATA_VALUE:$###,###,###,##0>"; and this seems to work fine if I could make the gauge big enough to fit the numbers.

The main problem is that this needs to be dynamic.  I could have three values of 0; 500,000; and 1,000,000 (just for ease sake) and I want the labels to show as $0, $500 K, $1 M after being formatted, which is why I wrote my own format routine.  How can I apply dynamic formatting to the labels?

 private void ultraGauge1_RenderLabel(object sender, RenderLabelEventArgs e)
{
    double numericValue;
    if (double.TryParse(e.Text, out numericValue))
    {
        // your number formatting logic goes here
        if (numericValue >= 1000000)
        {
            e.Text = "millions";
        }
        else if (numericValue >= 1000)
        {
            e.Text = "thousands";
        }
    }
}
