Hi conics

If you want my opinion the best way (and easiest way) to shape your own form is to use VB Shaped Form Creator, It is very easy to use, few seconds and your done and the best thing is its free for non-comercial use.

here is the link http://www.byalexv.co.uk/index.html?VBSFC.html

just draw what you want your app too look like in your favourite paint program
then open image in VBSFC paint over what you want to see in red then export as a form (can export in multiple formats like vb 4,5,6, c++,c#,ect).

I looked for a very long time and tried many different ocx without luck but this program does all the work.

Good Luck
