I generally achieve this by using bitmaps, the Control object ( vfp7 ), and playing with the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events

>The shape control that comes with VFP is very limited. For example, I need to put a rectangle at a 45 degree angle and I can't. Does anyone know of a control that will allow me to create shapes and place them at any location in any direction???
