is it possible to create free form UI window?

[AlexanderKhodarev]

Is it possible to create a circular (or any other free from) window for user interface?

This is not easy!

I think George Zou did this. Try his toolbox at;

Sorry that is all I can say.

It's actually not that difficult:

int SetWindowRgn(
HWND hWnd, // handle to window
HRGN hRgn, // handle to region
BOOL bRedraw // window redraw option
);

Get the window handler with FindWindow(Ex).

Get a region with CreateRoundRectRgn,CreateRectRgnIndirect,CreatePolygonRgn,
etc. or combine them with CombineRgn.

Regards,

Wiebe.
