Hi Tom

Don't know about buying it, but it's not to hard to create a class that does this for you - providing that it sits directly on a Form. The trick is to use OBJTOCLIENT() to determine where to start drawing, then use the Form CIRCLE() method to draw an appropriately dimensioned ellipse (set aspect < 1). It's a bit of a fiddle, but you only need to do it once in the class!

The snag is that a Page doesn't have a Circle/Draw methods so if you want one that works in a pageframe than you'd need to go with one of the other ooptions.
