This sample is a great starting point for a custom control. What this source code shows is how to use various shape controls and pictureboxes to create a custom frame container that has the ability to use rounded corners.
This code is well commented. Most of this code can be easily migrated to an ActiveX control. See the screenshot for an example of its appearance.
Feel free to leave me feedback, and I will try to respond. Don't forget to vote if you like it!

Sorry Gabe, but I don't agree. This may look good but it's just showing/hiding a bunch of picture boxes. 2/10

Scott, you missed the point. What it does is what is important, not how it does it. Sure, it could be done other ways, but the time spent would not be worth it. How would you have thought of it if it was just an ocx and did not know how it worked? The whole point of developing objects (I have made an ocx out of this), is to reuse objects and use other objects together to provide a functionality that none of them have on their own.
To you it might be "just showing/hiding a buch of picture boxes.", but it is also something different and unique. How many end users are going to see the source code if you use it in a project? And better yet... Why would they care?

I love it!! I'd like to make this into an ocx for use in future apps, but I have no knowledge of how to make this work. I'll fool around with it, but if anyone out there can do so, could you either post on here or e-mail it to me? I'd appreciate it.
The code rocks, man! Keep up the good work!

You can make a look similar to the new Microsoft Whistler OS. They use rounded frames!
