>>Just a follow up here. I've used an MS Forms 2.0 command button, gotten its window handle, used CreateEllipticRgn() and then SetWindowRgn() to create an elliptical button. Doesn't look much like a command button. In fact, in order to make the thing visible, I had to change the back color. Just looks like an ellipse on the form.

Yep. If you're interested, I'll post some code to emulate it.
