I want to build a custom control that will display a signal indicator.
Basically I have 4 images and depending on the current state, I will display
one of these images on the screen. I want to build it as a custom control
so i can add it to multiple pages of the form.

The control should also allow me to set the state of the control..

Ie. when i set state to 1, image 1 will be displayed and so on.

Please could you advise me on how to do this ?

Many thanks.

You could inherit from picturebox and add your own methods or inherit from
control and do everything in OnPaint.

If you are using C# you can also get design time support. There are plenty
examples in the SDF source and also check out these articles:
