Custom Command Button of Irregular Shape & of Different Color

[sunil borwankar]

I am trying hard to make Custom Command Buttons of Irregular Shape and of Different colours in Active X Interface Wizard but am not successful. Irregular Shape Buttons i.e.; Triangular, Arrow Shape and Hexagonal are made and are responding in click event but I am not able to provide colors to them. I used Window API programming also but buttons are not getting colored. Kindly help.
I am calling Window API "gdi 32" in Modules and Putting Shapes, colors etc in Active X Component but am not able to color buttons.

Thanks

This probably isn't the BEST way to do it and I don't really know what you're trying to do but a cheater would do the following:

Create a shape object on your form. Make it whatever shape and colour you would like. Then use the Shape1_Click() method in code to call it. This should work. I vaguely remember doing it once before.

Hope this works/helps

Sir,
Shape provides only Square, Rectangle, Circle or Elips, where as I want Triangular, Hexagonal and Arrow Shape, Colored Command Buttons.
Shall I get help in this regard?

Given that this is in the Visual Basic forum, I doubt that the source would be written in Java.
