Traffic Light Control

[macca]

Hi,

I would like to create a control that looks like a set of traffic lights.

This will output alarm states and if the user clicks on the control it will
open up a dialog that gives more detailed information.

I'd appreciate any adivce on creating this control or if one already exists.

Regards
Macca

Suggestion: Use a button with an image on it. Have three different
versions of the image that your program changes as required to
indicate the appropriate alarm state. Use the button click event to
open the dialog. Depending on how easy/costly it is to get the actual
alarm state you may need an internal flag to keep track of the current
state so you know which image to display and which dialog to show.
