Visual Basic gauge Tick/colored area

[MerlinKnight]

I am trying to find out how to make a gauge tick marks.
I know how to do the needle movement but i am trying to do redline area, yellow line area green area around the outer edge on the gauge. Also variable tick marks.
I am also wanting to make them movable. To be able to set the areas up like 0 to 100 will be red and so on.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Even a good book that can enlighten me on this subject.

Thank you,
Merlin Knight

Basically tick marks are done by drawing little short lines on a picture control. Take a look at the source code for the slider control at WolfeByte Solutions and see how he does it:

I learned a lot just by reading that code.
