How to make a shape in a vb6 application that resembles an Excel shape

I am trying to make a shape like a "call-out" box to use in a VB6 application. I can use the "Shape" tool to make a rounded-corner rectangle, but I would like to add the "V" shape at the bottom and have it all incorporated in the shape. A good example is the call-out shape used in Excel.

I have also used an image tool with a BMP in it, but still have the square corners of the image tool. I can't figure a way to do this and hope some out there knows how...???

Karl Peterson has code and explanation on creating an irregularly shaped object. It uses API calls, not just native VB controls.

See http://vb.mvps.org/samples/PolyBtn/.
