Creating a gear like customised indicator

[scottcolston]

Can anyone help me?

I want to create a cutomised inticator that resembles a gear and rotates when I update its position (degrees)

Thanks

Two options come to mind.

1)

You could use a Pict Ring and populate it with as many pictures as required to meet your resolution requirements.

2)

Use a Picture control and use the code that Christian posted here to rotate the image in the picture. Note: You can make the background of the picture trnaparent and with a properly masked image, render the transparent regions of the gear.

This post (on LAVA) has some help making a steering-wheel control.  Seems that you could take the same approach.
