How can I get a round button? [closed]

Question

I would like to have a round button control in WinForms, how might I accomplish this? A third-party control or code sample would be fine.

Answer 1

You can make your own pretty easily, the Region property makes it simple. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto a form.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class RoundButton : Button {
    protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) {
        using (var path = new GraphicsPath()) {
            path.AddEllipse(new Rectangle(2, 2, this.Width - 5, this.Height - 5));
            this.Region = new Region(path);
        }
        base.OnResize(e);
    }
}
