By the way Heriberto, your English is not perfect... be prepared for a 1-globe vote from Andrew M. Goncharov! :-) Lol.

If friend Matt is right (although for that reason I didn't almost put him comments) but for me the votes aren't important already, I only wanted to share it with all the people of PSC.

Thanks Gary for the comment and vote.

Hmmm... they look good... but I have no idea why you think you need sub-classing in a project like this. The code is much more complex than it needs to be.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
 
11/4/2005 8:21:59 AM: Richard Mewett

Peter, the subclassing is required IMHO. For this control to function as it does it must process WM_MOUSEMOVE & WM_MOUSELEAVE messages. Pure VB methods of detecting this are unreliable at best.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
 
11/4/2005 8:58:11 AM: Heriberto Mantilla Santamaria

Hi Peter Wilson, my friend Richard explains to you the reason of the suclassing, I didn't want to use the TIMER control.

Thanks JhonGalt, tibisan, Marco Scalcione for the vote.

CodeFester and Richard thank you for their incentives comments and their votes.

Paul Turcksin thanks for the vote.

Hi Heriberto. Nice little control! Only a minor suggestion regarding to font size: don't assign a fixed size (height) to control. Take the minimum height as the one given by the 'option graphic', then resize control depending on font height. Finaly, when drawing, center the graphic verticaly.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
 
11/4/2005 7:13:01 PM: Heriberto Mantilla Santamaria

Thanks Carles, nice idea I try to implement.

Again thanks for the comment and vote.

Probably the most beatiful option button I've seen on PSC and elsewhere. The complete lack of code comments makes it however a very difficult learning tool. Voted 4.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
 
11/5/2005 4:36:25 AM: Heriberto Mantilla Santamaria

There isn't problem with the vote friend Paul, don't add him comments for that my English isn't very good.

If you will notice, the code has very few comments in English as in Spanish, but the important sub is the DrawAppearance, since the control this drawn entirely with lines (Including the circles).

Why not check box? Do you have plan to make checkbox with the same style?

I don't really believe it possible, but if I make it, you'll be the first one in knowing it.
