form drop-shadow

[Edilson]

IS there a way to implement a drop-shadow on a mdi chid form ??

You would have to add code to the paint event of the child to update it's region to include a graphics path where you can draw the shadow. You should be able to accomplish that by adding a handler to its paint event.

I have code at work, that I'll pass along tomorrow if no one answers this by then.

I've tried to draw a retangle using Color.FromArgb(50, 0, 0, 0)
, but the controls on the form keep showing on top of the retangle.

this is for a help form, it should appear on top of another form.
considering this is a mdi enviromment.
