Form shape

[ands_au]

Hi,

I would like to display my form with the edges rounded. They should not be sharp edges. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Check this page http://www.allapi.net/vbasic/source.php , there is an example on how to create an irregular shaped form, the name is region.zip.

Hope this helps.

You can check out this tutorial, documented with working examples (written by a great author, ok maybe not):

Any window can be set to any predefined shape with the SetWindowRgn() API call.
You create a region with CreateRectRgn(), CreateRoundRectRgn(), CreatePolyRgn() or CreateElipticRgn()

Hope this helps,

I have used a product called TYPICAL_FormShaper. It allows you to make a form or control the shape of any bitmap. I'd recommend it highly.
