for this tutorial, add 12 labels to the form, and 2 timers. Change both labels enable property to True.

Change the 12 labels text properties to the clock 12 hours. Change also the BackColor property to white:

Add also another label to the form and name it "time"

Let's add the code for the Form Load event: Add the following highlighted code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) H andles Me.Load ' Locate the clock numbers on the screen: Label1.Location = New Point(505, 203) Label2.Location = New Point(561, 261) Label3.Location = New Point(592, 335) Label4.Location = New Point(561, 404) Label5.Location = New Point(505, 464) Label6.Location = New Point(430, 489) Label7.Location = New Point(357, 463) Label8.Location = New Point(305, 408) Label9.Location = New Point(272, 334) Label10.Location = New Point(302, 259) Label11.Location = New Point(354, 200) Label12.Location = New Point(430, 177) End Sub

Then add the following highlighted declarations to the code:

Public Class Form1 ' tick will be used to draw 60 marks for each second on the clock Dim tick As Integer = 270 'tick2 will be used to draw 12 bold marks on each hour on the clock Dim tick2 As Integer = 270

Then double click on timer1 and add the following highlighted code:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Even tArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick 'timer1 will draw the hands of the clock 'convert seconds to angles Dim seconds As Integer = (Now.Second * 6) + 270 'convert minutes to angles Dim minutes As Integer = (Now.Minute * 6) + 270 'convert hours to angles Dim hours As Integer = (Now.Hour * 30) + 270 'text label will hold the current time Time.Text = Now 'creating graphics Dim g As Graphics g = Me.CreateGraphics 'creating pens Dim hour As New Pen(Color.Blue) Dim hour2 As New Pen(Color.White) Dim second As New Pen(Color.Black) Dim minute As New Pen(Color.Red) Dim minute2 As New Pen(Color.White) Dim white As New Pen(Color.White) Dim circle As New Pen(Color.Black) 'assigning pens width hour.Width = 8 hour2.Width = 10 second.Width = 1 minute.Width = 4 minute2.Width = 4 white.Width = 10 circle.Width = 5 'drawing the hands of the clock and their locations g.DrawPie(hour2, 319, 219, 240, 240, hours - 30, 360) g.DrawPie(minute2, 289, 189, 300, 300, minutes - 6, 360) g.DrawPie(Pens.White, 269, 169, 340, 340, seconds - 6, 360) g.DrawPie(hour, 319, 219, 240, 240, hours, 360) g.DrawEllipse(white, 319, 219, 240, 240) g.DrawPie(minute, 289, 189, 300, 300, minutes, 360) g.DrawEllipse(white, 289, 189, 300, 300) g.DrawPie(second, 269, 169, 340, 340, seconds, 360) g.DrawEllipse(white, 269, 169, 340, 340) 'Draw a circle around the clock g.DrawEllipse(circle, 249, 149, 380, 380) End Sub

Then double click on Timer2 and add the following highlighted code:
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Even tArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick ' timer2 will draw the shape of the clock and the marks tick += 6 tick2 += 30 Dim g As Graphics Dim hoursMarks As New Pen(Color.Black)

hoursMarks.Width = 5 g = Me.CreateGraphics g.DrawPie(Pens.Black, 249, 149, 380, 380, tick, 360) g.DrawPie(hoursMarks, 249, 149, 380, 380, tick2, 360) g.DrawEllipse(Pens.White, 269, 169, 340, 340) g.FillEllipse(Brushes.White, 269, 169, 340, 340) If tick > 800 Then 'drawing the shape is done and the timer will stop Timer2.Stop() tick = 270 tick2 = 270 End If End Sub

Note: Change the form WindowState property to Maximum to better see the clock working
