Gauge or gage control is like speedometer control.
There are some paid versions available in the net, but I'm looking for a free version.

Thanks

Why don't you write your own? Then it will do exactly what you want.

Wrote code of my own using GDI+
However free gauge can be downloaded from www.componentxtra.com

Well, there are some times due to lack of free space or the app operator used to encounter with such scaled radial progress bars with at least 2 measuring units on it. Very useful in avionics and marine industries. I'm also looking for one. Already tried to write one but analog clock made me sick. This one would kill me =)))

You've resurrected a fairly old thread.

In any case, a basic gauge is fairly easy to create if you have an image of the face of the gauge you want to draw the needles on.
I created a quick example for someone at work and I posted it in this thread post #8.

It also includes a link to an analog clock example done for someone else, because the gauge code was just a modification done to the clock code.
Actually, the gauge code could be much simpler if I started from scratch rather than using the existing clock code, but I wanted to give him an example quick.

Also, above the analog clock link is a much more complicated example of drawing a more complex instrument (VB drawing demo), I did for another person at work. I did it originally in C# as he is a C# guy, and not familiar with the graphic capabilities of GDI+ so this was an introduction for him. Afterward, I created a VB.Net version from the C# code, which is what is linked to.

It’s easy enough to create your own gauges in GDI+
