Round Form

Hi, i am trying to create a ROUND form in vb6. At each point, north south, east and west, there is going to be a picture box with a gif image inside. When the user hovers the mouse over the picturebox, the picturebox opacity should be 1, whereas it would be 0.7 when the program is started-same as the form (or there abouts).

How is it possible to do this in VB6. I found a program in vb.net, but the code doesn't work in vb6 as ive tried.
Does anybody know how do this?

Round Form

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function CreateEllipticRgn Lib "gdi32" _
(ByVal X1 As Long, ByVal Y1 As Long, ByVal X2 As Long, _
ByVal Y2 As Long) As Long
 
Private Declare Function SetWindowRgn Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hRgn As Long, _
ByVal bRedraw As Boolean) As Long
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Show The form!
SetWindowRgn hWnd, CreateEllipticRgn(0, 0, 300, 200), True
End Sub

You should be sure to release the region created by CreateEllipticRgn by using the DeleteObject API.
