PanelMeter is an ActiveX control for VB6 which can behave like a 3D panel, a frame container, or a progress meter. Any of these behaviors can be setup with just a few simple property page changes. The user can also determine text for the caption or the frame title, or can even setup the control to display the current date or time as the caption.
