     It's a comsmetic item really. Why display numbers using a large font when you can have a 'Real'. LED display!!, it can be resized at runtime an was designed to be daisy chained together to form a display 'Bank'

This project was done using VB6 Professional. The picture shows me using it in VBA, to highlight its versatility.

Hi
Would it be too much to ask to get a property "ForceDecimalPoint" to be used to indicate the tenth of a second?

Adding a decimal point wouldn't be that hard but i just don't have the time these days.

Sorry

This is really a great display. The best I've come across yet. A decimal point would be a nice addition. Keep up the great work.

To make the colons into a decimal point,
just go into source code under resize colon position and change all four top properties to 6315 and all four left properties to 225.If you like, you can drag the images to that location as well. Recompile into ocx using a different name (I used Rsz7SegDec)and you have a decimal in the display.It still says forcecolons in properties but it will be the decimal. Hope this helps someone.
Great display.

Sory it doesn't work for me.
All I get is a blank screen when I execute the pgm (using VB 6.0)
