Example
The following example demonstrates how the Shape control can be used to display a circle, ellipse, or square on a form.
A form is created, and a set of option buttons and a command button are placed on the form. When you click one of the option buttons, the corresponding shape is displayed on the form. The Visible property is set to true (.T.) to display a shape; it is set to false (.F.) to hide the shape before another shape is displayed. The Height, Width, and Curvature properties of each shape determine the type of shape (circle, ellipse, or square) created.
