VBcodersPublic Sub SHADOW(Frm As Form, Ctrl As Control)
Const SC = vbBlack 'you can define your own color
Const SW = 3
Dim IOLDWIDTH As Integer
Dim IOLDSCALE As Integer
IOLDWIDTH = Frm.DrawWidth
IOLDSCALE = Frm.ScaleMode
Frm.ScaleMode = 3
Frm.DrawWidth = 1
Frm.Line (Ctrl.Left + SW, Ctrl.Top + SW)-Step(Ctrl.Width - 1, Ctrl.Height - 1), SC, BF
