BackgroundĮven if you haven't heard the name 'seven-segment display' before, you've probably seen quite a few in your lifetime. And, if you like the control and are able to use it, or learn from it, so much the better. I also wrote the control to become more familiar with the internals of C# and. That's why I decided to write this seven-segment LED control: not because it's any more 'useful' than a standard Label control, but because it looks freakin' sweet. Sometimes, there are certain controls that just beg to be written, whether they're useful or not. Your user base is already familiar with the OS's native controls, so creating custom controls would only add to the learning curve for your application.
From the point of view of usability, it should always make the most sense to use the controls that are shipped with the Operating System.
I'm usually not a big fan of custom controls except in the most extreme circumstances. The source code is available on GitHub! Introduction
