Hey all
Learning VB6 at the moment and was wondering if someone could help me please by telling me how to draw an ellipse by using a command button then changing its aspect ratio via a scrollbar.
Any help will be much much appreciated! :)

i did this last year, i forgot, sorry man, its kinda confusing at first, but once u get the hang of it it will be easy, it has to do with coordinetes though (x,y) thats all i remember
 
Hope this will help. Hope I didn't go too overboard.

Don't forget to set your min values to 1. You can set the max values to what ever you want. Just make sure the reset values reflect that number.
Code:
Option Explicit
'Declare variables
  Dim CX As Integer
  Dim CY As Integer
  Dim sngAspect As Single
  Dim intRadius As Integer
  
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Calculate the aspect ratio
  sngAspect = HScroll1.Value / VScroll1.Value
  
'Clear the form
  Me.Cls
  
'Reset the scroll bar values
  HScroll1.Value = 200
  VScroll1.Value = 200
  
'Draw the circle/ellipse
  Me.Circle (CX, CY), intRadius, vbBlack, , , sngAspect
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Reset the scroll bar values
  HScroll1.Value = 200
  VScroll1.Value = 200
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
'If the form is not minimized resize all object to fit on the form
  If Me.WindowState <> 1 Then
  'Move the command button
    Command1.Move Me.ScaleWidth - 15, Me.ScaleHeight - 15, 15, 15
    
  'Move the scroll bars
    HScroll1.Move 0, Me.ScaleHeight - 15, Me.ScaleWidth - 15, 15
    VScroll1.Move Me.ScaleWidth - 15, 0, 15, Me.ScaleHeight - 15
    
  'Recalculate the center of the circle
    CX = Me.ScaleWidth / 2 - VScroll1.Width
    CY = Me.ScaleHeight / 2 - HScroll1.Height
    
  'Calculate the radius of the circle
    If CX > CY Then
      intRadius = CX / 2
    Else
      intRadius = CY / 2
    End If
  End If
End Sub

Private Sub HScroll1_Change()
'Reset the vertical scroll bar
  VScroll1.Value = 200
  
'Recalculate the aspect ratio
  sngAspect = HScroll1.Value / VScroll1.Value
  
'Clear the form
  Me.Cls
  
'Redraw the circle/ellipse
  Me.Circle (CX, CY), intRadius, vbBlack, , , sngAspect
End Sub

Private Sub VScroll1_Change()
'Reset the horizontal scroll bar
  HScroll1.Value = 200
  
'Recalculate the aspect ratio
  sngAspect = HScroll1.Value / VScroll1.Value
  
'Clear the form
  Me.Cls
  
'Redraw the circle/ellipse
  Me.Circle (CX, CY), intRadius, vbBlack, , , sngAspect
End Sub

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
