I’m not even sure if this is possible. I’m writing a game that is based on triangles

And I want to make an array of tri-angle shaped buttons. I don’t even know where to look

to work out if this can or can not be done ?

There are many possible ways to create a non-rectangular button, either draw it yourself, modify the Control's region or use a Bitmap Region. Here's an example from codeproject that uses Bitmap Region technique:

For other approach, you can seach codeproject, there are tons of articles in there that describes in detail on how to create non-rectangular controls, though they may not be exactly Triangular controls, you can easily convert them.

Hi,
Just override the OnPaint event of the inherited Button from Sytem.Windows.Forms.Button and draw the triangle. Also set the region of the control to the region of the triangle so thatc button area is defined.

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
float h = this.Height;
float w = this.Width;
PointF[] pts = new PointF[] { new PointF(w / 2, 0), new PointF(0, w), new PointF(w, h) };
g.FillPolygon(Brushes.Gray, pts);
GraphicsPath gp=new GraphicsPath();
gp.AddPolygon(pts);
this.Region = new Region(gp);
}
