Analog Clock Component

[Kambiz]

I was looking for an Analog Clock component on the net couldn't find something nice. Therefore, I wrote one.

In other hand, I am not a Graphic Designer. Because of that I used Windows' Sidebar clock images to write the component. I think because of copyright issues we cannot use this component. But some freeware images will solve the problem.

The attachment is a demo of the component.

The old TurboPower Orpheus Component has a OVCClock component. A Delphi 2009 version is available here: http://www.songbeamer.com/delphi/

Since the company is no longer is in business you might be able to use its clockface bitmaps.

I took a look at OVCClock component, but didn't find something useful.

The analog clock needs at least 5 semi-transparent PNG images:

1. Clock face
2. Hour hand
3. Minute hand
4. Second hand
5. A pin when second hand is not showing
6. Optional overlay glass

In your demo, when you hide the seconds hand, the minutes hand shifts a bit. I guess you round the time but you should better just hide the seconds hand.

I thought when somebody hides the second hand, he/she whats the control consumes less CPU time. Because of that when ShowSeconds is False, the control updates every minute instead of every second.
