Fill Region

[Eyes.Only]

I cant seem to figure this out so maybe someone has some tips for me.

I create a rounded rectangle region in a picture box with CreateRoundRectRgn, and i then want to fill that region with white. It would be awesome if it had a black line around it but im not going to get greedy.

But I cant get anything to show up. If i could just use a shape for this i would but i dunno how to get the hdc of a shape so that i can do what i ultimately have to do (setting region for a controls transparency) so umm *scratches head*

please enlighten me... any way you can...heh

try using a shape control and then the form's image property to get the outline of it

the shape control doesnt register as part of the image...i dont think so anyway. I tried it just to make sure and it didnt work for me.

Couldn't you just set the backcolor of the Form to White?

nah cuz not only is it spose to be a rounded rectangle but its a chat balloon, thus theres a triangular 'tail' on it as well...
