How do I make a form look like an image

[hojoho]

How do I make a form look like an image in VB 6.0. It is a simple image, nothing complicated.
Thanks

Load your image into the .Picture property of the form.

But then you can see the corners of the form behind the image. I need something similar to skins. If I could make the form transparent and the image visible, it would work the way I need it to work.
Thanks

you need to set the boarderstyle to None.

Sorry, I meant BorderStyle

or from codearchive

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 Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim hr&, dl&
Dim usew&, useh&
usew& = Me.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
useh& = Me.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
hr& = CreateEllipticRgn(0, 0, usew, useh)
dl& = SetWindowRgn(Me.hWnd, hr, True)

End Sub

There are loads of references to this sort of thing. Try Google. Change the parameters of CreateEllipticRgn and you can have any shape you like. Peter Meachem
