Round GUI

[Jo-Jo]

I was just wondering.  Does anyone know if there is some way to make a round Front Panel (or any shape other than rectangle)?  I wanted to make a GUI that was a shape other than rectangle, like Sonique.  Is this even possible in LabVIEW?

Thanks,
Jo-Jo

If you're on a Windows machine you can use the Windows API to do it. See attached for a simple example.

That's great, thanks a lot.  I apparently have a lot of investigation to do in regards to this.  I should be able to create some really cool GUIs with this.

Thanks,

With the proper playing around, you can create some nice stuff.
