Can you make a form invisible but be able to see a button or image on the form, so that they look as though they are floating.
I don't think you can, but one suggestion would be to create a small form for the button, exactly the size of the button, and set the controlbox = false and then the caption = "". The title bar should go away, and then there will be nothing but the button.
Thats is currently what i am doing. What i wanted was to present something that wasn't square or rectangular.
Would this mean i have to do some dx stuff?
I remember reading that it can be done in VB, but I think it requires some pretty heavy API calls, not a bit problem, but I don't know exactly what they were....I'll look at some of my books.
You can make it using transparant regions, you can find an article.
