Different types of Forms

BenDover

Hi,

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

Ex., Sonique, Windows MP, iTunes...

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.

Ok, I'll try that...

Thanks

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.
