VB Shaped Form Creator is a program which allows you to create shaped forms for Visual Basic 4 and 5, C# (.net), Delphi and C++.

VB Shaped Form Creator allows you to draw out the shape you want for the form using a combination of rectangle, rounded rectangle, oval and polygon tools. It also offers 4 different combination methods; AND, OR, XOR and NOT. These are also known as Intersection, Addition, Inversion and Subtraction. Using these methods a complex shape can be built up easily.

Once you have drawn the shape for the form you have the option of either saving it as an entirely new form, which can then be used in your Visual Basic project using VB's "Add File" command, or it can modify an existing form to take on the shape you have drawn. The shape will not be apparent in design mode, but when you run the program, it will show up as expected.

In order to facilitate interface design the shape designed can be exported as a bitmap. This can then be temporarily used as the forms background picture so that you can see when you are positioning controls outside the visible area. You could also use the bitmap in your favourite paint program to design a background for the program.

VB Shaped Form Creator is licensed as freeware and is therefore free to download, use and keep.
