Animated Spinner Class [vbRichClient5]

After contributing to the following thread (http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...Wheel-Spinning), I thought others might be interested in an animated spinner, so I packaged my code into a class and added a simple demo form that allows you to play around with the parameters in real-time.

NOTES
This demo requires the vbRichClient5 framework to be registered on your development system: http://www.vbrichclient.com/#/en/Downloads.htm

This code is free to use for any purpose. No warranties! This code has not been extensively tested, nor is it currently used in any production environment. It is also my first attempt at using the vbRC5 Cairo graphics methods, so there may well be bugs/inefficiencies.

Enjoy!
