    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to make programs that have forms with "round" edges?
    I'm using VB. NET...

    Ex., Sonique, Windows MP, iTunes...
    :confused:

    I'm pretty sure MS cover that in either the VB.Net documentation, or on MSDN, complete with example. A quick search and you should find it there.

    I was at a MSDN presentation a while back and they gave an example of how to do it. I can't remember if it was using Vs.Net 2005 though. Anyway, the idea was you create an image , jpg, bmp etc. The image acts as the background of the form. On the image you use a color that you would want to be transparent. On your form you set the background image and a property that was the color to make transparent, I forget the actual property names. Hey presto you had a fancy looking form. It also showed example of how to set it at runtime, even by drag and drop of a new image.

    Set the Region property to an appropriate region.

    SetWindowRgn is the GDI (non .NET) way of doing it.
