Hey guys, here yet another example! haven't be able to post more example because of some projects that had to be done, anyway let's get started shall we?
This custom control can do cool things, basically it's a label which has some extra feature's like; Clock Wise, Anti-Clock Wise, Rotate, Arc, Circle... You can also change the angle of the text. It's definitely not a super release but it's nice to have
I will post the download link of the file ass well just include it and build you project, after you will see it in your toolbox!
I also will post the source down here.
