need help with new graphic
«

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:

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

Use its Arc and/or Pie features.
