Changing the Shape of Button Programatically

[AJ]

Hi guys,
any clues or suggesstion on how to programatically change the shape of
a button from rectangular to say elliptical or circular. Meaning that
when the mouse hovers just within the shape, only then the Click event
can be generated.
Would be Great if you guys can help

Code can be either in C# or VB.Net
Thanx

You can use the GraphicsPath class to define the shape and then use the
Region class to turn that shape into a clipping region that can be assigned
to a control...

GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath();
gp.AddEllipse(0 , 0, this.button1.Cl ientSize.Width,
this.button1.Cl ientSize.Height );
this.button1.Re gion = new Region(gp);
