Could anyone tell me how you make those special windows who don't look like normal windows.
I've been trying for ages but I just can't find any help. I really need that because my exams are approaching fast.
The kind of windows I want to make are those winamp or k-föfol style ones.
I thank tou in advance for your help.

Check out the SetWindoRgn function. They build a region from a bitmap and then use the function
to creat the funcky window shapes. There is a BitmapToRegion example on this site in the graphic
section. I used it to dcreate a Delphi project that showed how you could make a form that was the
same shape as a bitmap.
Actually, what I was told is that you need to create your dialog and make it transparent. Then you use the paint functions to load the bitmaps and do the rest of what you need. There are a few articles on codeguru.com about this.
