Steve it would cost more in coding but what about building small jpg
files. Create one for each number and letter you want to display. Then
depending on the ticker condition display the jpg file in a picture
control. It would seem to be rather simple with some conditional
coding. For example if the time ends in one then the right most digit
would display the 'one' jpg. No need for fonts or other external
components. You may even be able to market it as a custom control
yourself.
When I first read your question I thought it was a single LED like an
indicator. Then when I read further and associated the ticker with the
'LED' I assumed it was a 7 segment LED you were talking about. In
either case just use a graphics editor to create the 'look' you want
for the display. Make 10 of them (0 - 9) and display only the correct
one in the picture boxs. If it's a jpg file they will stretch and
shrink so the size of the picture box will control the size of the
image.
Hope this helps.

Hi All
Does anyone know of an LED style ticker control that I can use in my
application?
I can find lots of examples of ticker controls, but no LED ones.
Kind Regards,
