I'm just starting to poke around with GDI+ and so I set myself the task of re-creating some code that I found here: http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/vbnet/tut/vbnet16.html

Here's my version of the same clock. It's probably been done before and the code's a bit messy but I thought I'd post it here anyway in case anyone has a use for it. I'm not sure who wrote the function for _GDIPlus_CreateLineBrushFromRect but I took it from this post by monoceres. In fact, that code was my starting point for the clock

EDIT: Used ProgAndy's code and changed it a bit to make the size configurable. Also changed the hard-coded positioning of the numerals in favour of calculating them.

Nice Job. I'm impressed with how that turned out... Not a fan of the 25% CPU usage, but it's understood.

[ProgAndy]

Really impressive WideBoyDixon. I was able to make some CPU usage optimizations, e.g. I moved the painting of the background to an other buffer bitmap and increased the interval fpr redrawing

It looks very nice wbd, and its veru easy to use to, It's taken me about 2 mins to figure out the script and make a few changes to my liking. The only real concern I have is the amount of cpu it takes up... What I added was that you can choose to show/not show certain hands... It just makes it easier for me.

If I can find a way to bring the cpu down to thats of a program like clocx, then It will be definitely something I use a lot! Thanks wbd.

Edit: Now using ProgAndys code - a huge improvement!!

Actually, I never looked at the CPU usage. I guess the sleep could be increased to something a bit more palatable like 200 or so.

Big thanks to ProgAndy for tidying this up for me.

I've just posted an update in the first post. I've changed to calculate the numeral positions and make the clock size configurable. It's not perfect but I'm sure someone else could take it from here

WBD this just a work of art. Congratulations....

[monoceres]

Very, very nice. Especially without using any external resources (images and such).

[trancexx]

Very cool to bitchen.

...will rate it in those little stars.

Hi
Added some things to it:
1) Memory reduction function
2) Left click anywhere and drag
3) Used the _Gui_round_corners function to remove white space. Clock now "floats"

Hi!

New modified version.
With the _winmove of Picea892, and others modifs from ProgAndy.
Accept two parameters (X & Y) ; right align by default or by -1.
And, allways, invisible background & popup mode (without border).

Re. Another little thing: I modified the write of hours (1 to 12).
And I added date.

That means I get the right month names from the OS. You could replace $LOCALE_SMONTHNAME1 with $LOCALE_SABBREVMONTHNAME1 in order to get the abbreviated month name.

I might still be looking to polish this up a little to go in my collection; I hope nobody minds if I take in their individual amendments in to a community-developed clock I'm all for development by community
