Advice on making a control ...

Hi everyone,

I'm making an application that edits the configuration files of our software
package. One of those things in the configuration files is configuration of
heads. These heads form a matrix, eg a 2 x 3 matrix.

H H H
H H H

I want to make a control that pictures the head. At first I will be
satisfied if it is just a circle with text (eg HEAD 5). The control should be
right-clickable to allow some options (like modify properties etc). The
control should be able to change color.

Anyway, I would like to know the easiest way to make such a control. Thanks
for any advice or pointers,

Kind regards,
