Check the CreateEllipticRgn API. A quick example, take a silghtly bigger form:

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()
    Dim lX2 As Long, lY2 As Long
    Dim lRgn As Long
    
    lX2 = ScaleX(Form1.Width, vbTwips, vbPixels)
    'lY2 = ScaleY(Form1.Height, vbTwips, vbPixels)
    
    lRgn = CreateEllipticRgn(0, 0, lX2 \ 2, lX2 \ 2)
    SetWindowRgn Me.hWnd, lRgn, True
End Sub
