arbitrary shaped windows
Author
all of us have seen those nice shaped windows that are not plain rectangular but polygon shaped.
i was wondering how to do those... there doesn''t seem to be an api function, so do you need a special library for that?
thanks

To do this you need to create a region and then call setregion on the window you want to change the shape of.

umm, perhaps i should first have looked into the documentation.
the function i was searching is SetWindowRgn.
doh, there really was an api function...

Make sure you follow the warnings closely... if the variable defining your region is not a global or class member variable that stays resident, you could wind up with some serious problems.

felisandria: hmm, it is not a global variable in my app. but it works and looks really neat 
what problems do you mean? well, i''ll prolly make it global for windows'' sake.
