Shaped Windows

[Jeffery Hahn]

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but could not locate it.

How can I create a non-square window?

My goal is to create a function which will show a windows 2000 style 'bubble help thingy' for use in Vb.

Keeping in mind that I am a beginner and will not pursue if I have to learn all sorts of extra info. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

Thanks
Jeff

The simplest way is to use the API call SetWindowRgn after you have used one of the create region functions-they are very versatile. See chapter 7 in Dan Appleman's book VB programmer's guide to the Win32 API. Good luck.
