I am creating a project in VB 6.

I will be simulating the display of a petrol pump via seven segment display & buttons to simulate taking the petrol pump in and out.


I am unsure if anyone has tried creating a 7 segment display and perhaps if so, any tips for how to structure the code etc? Been looking at sites and most of them are actual software for creating it and costs money...

Any other cool ideas to make it more life like, or better advances on my ideas are welcome. I'll the specification to anyone who wants it.

Any help/ideas would greatly appreciated.
