Hello everyone,

I have seen many programs written in Vb which have buttons on them that are shaped, by which i mean they are different to the Command Buttons VB provides, some are small and rounded on the corners, some are round, i was just wondering how this is possible?
if someone could give me some help that would be brilliant, i just wanted to learn something new so any advise would be wicked.

cheers

bunty

Buttons like you describe can only be done with third party Active X controls. There is nothing inherent in VB that will give you fancy buttons.

Do a search on Google for Visual Basic + ActiveX + Buttons and you will find loads of options.

Heres a good place to start
