how do i make a custom shaped button?

example:
windows 7 login screen shows the 'Go' button which is 'round' and not rectangular or square.

do i just select a 'flat' appearence for my button from the buttons properties and provide a backgrpond image that looks 'round'? or do i have to do something else?

I am assuming that you needed for winform application. So this MSDN article shows you how to do so. A Rounded button using Region property of the control[^]

Solution 1

Have a look at Custom Button with Color and Shape[^].

For custom button, WPF maybe the way to go.

Anhinav, I think this is bad article; it does not provide true non-rectangular buttons, because Region is not used. The difference is easy to detect by clicking on the corner of this in fact rectangular button -- it will work, but it should not.

I think this can be generated with an image with transparent background also. just click the image go what ever you want to.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 4-Feb-13 21:22pm

I can be, but why? The problem is: it's not true non-rectangular shape. A click shows the problem...
