Outlining text in a Label

Hi,

I have been using VB6 for quite some time, but I've always had difficulty trying to place an outline around some text in a label.

Using 6 or 8 labels around the one, with each at a different slant only really works for one font and one fontsize - the one it was originally adjusted to.

I've found a control by SCML Software, but the text in the label is all rigid and pixelated.

Is there some way to create a smooth outline around a label, even if the font, size and the text itself etc is varying?

Thanks in Advanced,
