I'd propose you consider what I have been doing for the last couple of years: build UI elements "on the fly" from scratch with an external party such as GDI - or any alternative that can produce bitmaps fast and clean - and feed them win in VFP picture controls with pictureval. CPUs are now so fast, raster-image building speed is now bordering to nil.
