Create a user control with other shape than rectangluar?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a user control (for a windows application) that is
not rectangular but, for example, is like a circle?

When I put two controls close each other in a form, you can always see the
edge of the overlying control...

Thanks,

Hi Mats-Lennart,
You can create control with whatever form you please. Look at Control.Region
property.

You may want to look at VG.net, which has a Visual Studio .NET designer very
similar to a user control designer, but uses pure vector graphics.

Thanks. But this property can't be set during design time so when do I set
it? In the constructor?

Thanks,

Hi,
I believe in the constructor would be ok.
