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.

We are always happy to help you with programming...

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.
