Gauge -
Hey all, i'm trying to do the following and can get 'half way' there. I would like to create a gauge control in VB. I want the gauge control to look like the RPM gauge of the Honda S2000:

As you can see, the gauge arcs...I considered using individual pictureboxes for each LED that lights up in the gauge...as they don't flicker like shapes do when changed quickly...but I am unable to get the picturebox to arc like that...I just get picture boxes that arc (all standing up and down), instead of arcing and fanning out like the LED pictures.
Can anyone else think of a way of doing this without using individual pictureboxes?

Find a control... -
I've got a project with over 200 forms. I want to change the gauge control to something a bit nicer. I've gone through the project and deleted all the ugly gauge controls but I've somehow missed one. Can't seem to find it. I'm worried that it's hidden behind a picture control or so

Why was that gauge used?
