Round Button

[Guest]

I am trying to create my own button control, but I want it round, not square.
I can draw the graphics just fine, but I wish there was some way to make the
background of the Usercontrol area transparent.

Is there a way to do this?

You can set the Region property of the control.

Can't see how to do that. .Region is not showing up as a property...?

You will have to do that at runtime. 'Region' is hidden, but it exists.
You can create a region of arbitrary shape from a
'System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath'.
