Trying to make my first control -

Hi everyone,

I was looking to make a CPU load app that would show the % load on my cpu at any given time. I am able to pull the value of the CPU load but I am not sure how I can make that into a speedometer style gauge.

I have seen many add-in's for purchase that would give me a gauge but I would like to build my own control to get the experience. I have never built a control before and I have not yet animated with vb.net. I usually tend more towards the DB work, so a little help (and a lot of patience) would be great.

I can easily get a bitmap of a gauge to use as a background but the needle is where I am stumped. How can I get the needle to move around the face of the gauge?

I have looked at this thread
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...=gauge+control but I am afraid it did not help. Could someone please help me out?

Thanks
