Not sure if it is possible to move from the rectangular shape - if you find out a way then let us know!

It’s something tricky, but it’s possible. And I remember I did it in my graduation projects. I made a circular Login Screen for my project in VB 6.0.
The tricks is use a background image as watermark for the form then adjust the form properties so that it becomes transparent. The actual form remains the square as original but the user gets the feel of circular form.
Try this and let us know if this works out for you or not.

it is possible to change the shape of the form as desired, the form remains in a rectangular shape. it is a default shape. once i too have tried to make it, but went in vein. the appearance of the form can be changed by changing the background color of the form and also adding some images.

Yeah, that's what I said in my previous posts. Using background image makes the trick go right.

Check the source. You will have to create images for each menu item in the text style you want. Or you can use images of anything. Sorry that the answer was from Google Answers.
To change the main menu line, after the line
hwndMainMenu = GetMenu(hwnd)
Just add in another loop
For i = 0 To CUSTOMMENUS - 1
With typMenuInfo
. cbSize = Len(typMenuInfo)
. fType = MFT_BITMAP
. fMask = MIIM_TYPE
. dwTypeData = PicMenus(i). Picture
End With
SetMenuItemInfo hwndMainMenu, i, True, typMenuInfo
Next i
For the sub-menus just change the last value in:
hwndSubMenu = GetSubMenu(hwndMainMenu, 0)
Change the 0 to a 1 or whatever submenu

@singam: Thanks for copy pasting the text from Google answers, but we really dislike people who just copy some code from other sites and then paste it here.
On other note, the question which is discussed here is about How to change to shape of the form in VB 6.0? and not something like How to work on menus in VB 6.0?
Therefore your answer sounds irrelevant to me.

@proximityinfotech4: That is what very one in this tread are talking about. You can change the shape of the forum similar to the image available with you.

Tricks is to use a background image as a watermark form to adjust the properties of the module so that it becomes transparent. The current form of the square will remain in the original, but the user gets a feel for the shape of a circle.

The tricks is use a panorama soul as watermark for the forge then set the change properties so that it becomes straight. The factual work relic the number as original but the individual gets the see of advert constitute.
