Excel OCX/ActiveX Visual Controls for creating a Excel Dashboard/Scorecard

[Belinda]

Hello All

I want to create a Excel dashboard and I would like to use some
ActiveX/OCX controls like a gauge, dial, slider and stereo bars,etc to
display data visually in Excel. Can you please share if you know of
some sites where we can get a free download of these controls or we
can get a trial version we can evaluate and buy them. Also, if
possible your experiences with these kind of visual ActiveX/OCX
controls.

Thanks
Belinda

Funnily enough I've been playing around with some ActiveX controls
today which sound like the sort you're after.

I've got Ahead Nero Burning Rom installed on my PC and one of the
additional programs it puts on is WaveEditor, a music sampling program.
This has got some some nice ActiveX controls on it, LEDMeter,
LevelSlider, and Knob control which look like the controls of a mixing
desk. All of these work fine in Excel once you've added them as
additional controls (at least they work on Excel 2002).

Not sure if you can get hold of these gratis but aren't there some Nero
tryout programs floating around? They might be on there - the files
are AudioControl.ocx & LEDMeter.ocx
