Circular Buttons

[khanjan_a2k]

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to create controls around a circle. I have attached the image. The various colours are supposed to be any type or seperate controls that I can make in the manner, and I want to click on the controls. Therefore, I cannot use shapes. I cannot describe it better in words, therefore I am attaching the image. If you require any more information from me, please let me know.
Thank you for yoru help in advance,
Khanjan

Well, I don't think that you can accomplish this in VB, BUT....!!! Why not use Flash? On the Click_Event en MouseOver_Event in Flash you can create awesome visual events. Remember to give the "args" a good name so you can call the proper procedure.

I'm not that good with Flash, so can't help you further (sorry). A good search must do the job.

It is possible in VB, but its a very sticky area.

You'd have to write your own control, and make sure you got all the coordinates correct for the different areas of the control.

Look into writing your own controls. Also, look up the "Chameleon Button" custom control, it comes with source code, and it simulates different Windows Buttons but drawing them entirely by itself.

You could split each section up into their own image then add them, but that'd take long. I'd do it for you for $1.

Well, I am not that great at flash either... so I am really confused... Um do I have to use ActionScript??

It is possible in VB. You can check out Wokawidgets "XP Button" project in his Component Suite example as it can draw any shape of button and apply the standard XP theme without having to be run on XP.
