CClockCtrl v1.12 An MFC class to display an analog clock

CClockCtrl is an MFC widget which renders an analog clock. The class is based in part on the class of the same name from the book "MFC Programming with Visual C++ 6.0". The class is derived from CStatic and a number of public methods allow customisation of its look.

The enclosed zip file contains the CClockCtrl source code and also includes a VC 2017 workspace file to build a small demonstration app.
