Hi All

In the help on SHAPE elements it says you can have a user defined shape. How do you define your own shape? I want the triangle shape that is used in electronics to show an OP-AMP.

Thanks

Not a a user defined shape, but a user defined style. Smile

Just like with TEXT, LIST and other dialog elements. I do believe Mac or someone else made a DLL for painting your own shapes on a dialog.

Edit: Found them, look at http://www.vdsworld.com/search.php?keywords=draw Smile

CodeScript Software GUI Extension (VDSGUI)

VDSIMAGE
Description:
This part contains a set of commands and functions which allow you to do some basic image manipulations, such as drawing a few shapes or combining images. This could for example be useful in CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts, so that you could generate images on the fly, for counters or menu bar images etc. Reading and writing of .BMP, .GIF and .JPG images is possible, so it’s also possible to convert in-between those image types. It’s also possible to transfer the created image onto a VDS- or other dialog.
