Overview
allows you to design a form or button with any shape.
In depth
By using ShapeForm, you can visually design a Form with any shape by simply putting a ShapeForm control on the it, setting the ShapeForm's picture property, and all pixels with a specified color or within a tolerance of the specified color will be excluded and a region will created. The Form which the ShapeForm control is placed in will be shaped into the created region and will fit exactly to the picture shown on it. All of this can be done without any coding.
ShapeButton acts as a CommandButton or CheckBox except that it can have any shape. It supports switch region of the Form between shaped and regular (or rectangle) in both design time and run time. It also supports switch Form from one shape to another in both design time and run time if you put more than one ShapeForm control on it. DownPicture and DisablePicture properties let the ShapeButton control have a different look when it is clicked or disabled. ShapeButton can act as a CommandBotton or CheckBox by setting the value of its ButtonStyle property. Region data is retrieved at design time and bounded with the exe file, so the switch and show is fast.
