    circular form control

    Does any one know if there exists a form control that can function much like
    a rectangle control but is circular (or 6 sided say)? Can I make a custom
    control called circle that groups 6 instances of the line control and
    functions exactly like the line control (props, events etc) . I think I can
    do it with net but don't want to learn it, hopefully I can do it with access
    or VBA

    Please help steer me in the right direction

    Thanks

    Brian

      Well - I just noticed lines don't have events so that won't work either> but
      I still need to make a circle control that can have events and properties
      much like a rectanagle

          Perhaps you can create an circle icon & place that in an Image
          control's Picture property. Then use the click events of the Image
          control. You can also put an icon on a CommandButton.

          Using the form's or control's MouseDown event you can determine where
          on the form/control the mouse was clicked by examining the X & Y
          parameters of the event procedure (numbers start from the top left
          corner).

              Place a command button over whatever you have drawn and set the Transparent
              property.

                  At one time, Albert Kallal posted a way to do "shaped" forms, such as
                  circles, polygons, etc. It utilities the Win API. I don't have the URL any
                  more. Perhaps Albert would be so kind as to provide that info again?
