graph

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a bandwidth monitor - I've done most of it, but I want to have a notifyicon that changes dependent on the bandwidth.

The same as when you open task manager and then minimise it, there is a little animated bar graph by the clock showing CPU usage... How do I do that???

Any help would be appreciated.
