I have this post up on PlanetSourceCode.com
This issues on how to give windows a shape (going from a tringle to bill gates). However, this code can be used on any object having a hWnd, and a picturebox would be the right player in your case. So you can set the appearance to flat, give a background color, and set the shape.

You can implement this functionality yourself by using CreatePolyRgn to create a triangular region and then in the Form_Paint event call FillRgn.

Both of these API calls are documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/hh/gdi/regions_5vvy.asp

Hope this helps,

If you send me your e-mail address I'll send you a free OCX that might do what you want. It's a shaper control that you can make any shape with. You would then apply this shape to a picture box to get a triangle. My E-Mail: crownmaker@hotmail.com
