Martin,
Yes I guess you can compare it to a standing progress bar. The control must have properties like: Increase, Decrease, Temperature (get and set). (if the control is on a form in an app that is hooked up to a device that can measure body temperature I would like my body temperature to be reflected by the user control <g>, but that is not what I will be using the control for. I have a form with a numericupdown control where the user can set the temperature, the only thing I want the thermometer control for is for a visual effect.

I have created visual controls in the past by drawing the control in the OnPaint but I have never tried to use a bitmap as the "background" when I draw. I guess resizing the control is my only consern about this.

Have you done something like this Martin?
