I would like to know how to make a form look like an image in vb 6. It is a simple rounded rectangle. Nothing dificult but I have never done this before.
Thanks

First, if you want, set the border style to None.

The drop the following two functions into the declaration section of the form:

Private Declare Function CreateRoundRectRgn Lib "gdi32" (ByVal X1 As Long, ByVal Y1 As Long, ByVal X2 As Long, _
ByVal Y2 As Long, ByVal X3 As Long, ByVal Y3 As Long) As Long


Private Declare Function SetWindowRgn Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hRgn As Long, _
ByVal bRedraw As Boolean) As Long



Then in the form load add the following:

SetWindowRgn hwnd, CreateRoundRectRgn(5, 5, 395, 395, 100, 100), True

You can play around with the values in CreateRoundRectRgn to get different results than my example
