you can use the setWindowRGN function with *any* window, you just need i's handle:

The SetWindowRgn function sets the window region of a window. The window region determines the area within the window where the operating system permits drawing. The operating system does not display any portion of a window that lies outside of the window region

int SetWindowRgn(

HWND hWnd,      // handle to window whose window region is to be set
HRGN hRgn,      // handle to region
BOOL bRedraw      // window redraw flag
);

If you want you can also creates a simple elliptic shape and use an onclick event to make it works as a button

I want a real button component : when I click on it the button seems pressed and then becomes normal again.

I relized that this question is no more important to me at the moment, so I decided to delete it. To be honest, this is the best answer I received (I found a component like I wanted in Torrys pages) so I accept the answer.
