[AccessD] Visual Basic 2012 - Simple Gauge Tool

To do the bar graph thing I set the width (for horizontal) or height (for
vertical) of the box based on the value it's supposed to represent.  Works
like a charm.

A row of 100? Characters Solid blocks as in │ (ALT+0254) and set the font,
or it's colour to transparent/ whatever shows differentiation appropriately
on the number of characters according to the % And stick the % entries
somewhere that 'form' or display window's code can access it on a
'happening' or timed interval.

Thank you for the reply Jim, unfortunately I need to get my hands on a free
one that I can use on a VB.net WinForm as the company (tight buggers) do not
want to pay for one, not long started learning VB.net and never been too
good with creating graphics or would make my own one.
