shapes other than circle and square?

[opus]

Is there a possibility to use other forms of shapes besides the standar circle and square (polygon?)?

yea, just use lines to make what ever you want, and I don t think that there is another way to do it in VB :{

but you could also try opening any image editing software and draw it there, then add a image to VB

thanks, in this case I go to McDoof

What kind of shape's do you want to draw? Have you looked into API? Such as the Ellipse, Polygons, Curves, Rectangles etc. Using a combination of different shapes, you can draw complex ones such as a Cones, Cubes, Cylinders, Prisms, Spheres etc. Many of which are 3-D oriented.

[opus]

I looked into API, but can I use then as an object, like the standard shape's? I especially nned to move them.

if you don't load too many at the same time, it would be no problem to create your own OCX in whatever shapes you want. then you can implement all kinds of methods and events.

i will try to find some sample code, but i can't promise you anything. meanwhile have a look at http://www.vbapi.com and search for 'region'. maybe you get the hints you need there.
