need help with new graphic

[Joe Matkowski]

I building a new system for a customer that wants a graphic indicator to show a rotational position, something like the attachment. Kind of banging my head against the wall on this one as I am not good at building controls. Any help or advise.

Building a control from scratch can be tricky. This thread gives an idea and source code:

Another option is to use the AnimatedPictureBox. It can also get a little complicated because of all the settings to allow the flexibility. Here is an example of using it:

Thanks I will have a look. I have been messing with a radial progress bar that i found some code and nearly have it completely functional. just need to add some more properties to change the look.

Once you have it working then consider posting it here.

I will, I have the functionality with the drivers just want to finish the properties. This is my first control I have built.

One other control that could possibly be used as rotational indicator is OvalShape found here:

Use its Arc and/or Pie features.
