Drawing my own command buttons

I would like to know if it is possible to draw my own command buttons. I mean, I would like to draw a button in the shape of a parallelogram or even randomly making shapes like an explosion shape. Is this possible because I have seen programs with these kind of buttons but have never been able to make it myself in VB.NET. If it is possible, could someone please explain. I could'nt find anything in the 100 VB.NET Samples. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but you'd have to write the animation code yourself (pressdown, pressup). You'd have to either write a new control from scratch, which would take longer, or inherit from the button class which would restrict your options.

Might be tricky.
