Help with creating a label?

[kimksmith]

Hello All,
I have a project where I first need to create an ActiveX control, in the form of a label. It has to have the following features:
1. Changed colors - red, green & yellow.
2. Default color is grey
3. Need to have coordinates in relation to form
4. Needs to be oval shape

I am a beginner and would appreciate any help possible.

hi

Function OvalLabel ( sName, sColor , sXpos , sYpos , sWidth , sHeight )
Dim Ctrl As Shape
Set Ctrl = Controls.Add("VB.Shape", sName)
bColor=&H00404040&
if not sColor=vbbullstring then bColor=sColor
Ctrl.BorderColor = bColor
Ctrl.Shape = 2
Ctrl.Visible = True
Ctrl.Move sXpos, sYpos, sWidth, sHeight

End Function
