does anyone know how to make the edges of a form round go here to see my form:

the colors are screwed up because I saved it as a low quailty gif (6k)

You mean on the Title Bar? Just hide it and draw your own with Images.

what do you mean, I want the top left and right corners of the form to be circular (so they match the title bar)

by the way, the title bar is my own image

and to see the form in its right color go here:

Make the original Form transparent and draw your own Form.

how do I do that?

Read this article.

play around with the borderstyle of the form until the traditional blue bar vanishes.

then draw a picture of what you want the top bit to look like, and then write some code to recognise mouse-clicks in the right regions, couldnt be simpler!

wossname, did you look at the image of my form? I already made my own title bar thing

CAn someone please help me make the top edges curved because I am really lost on how to do that (if you want I could e-mail you the form)

I'm sure that's a fake titlebar placed on a titlebarless form, if it isn't you can do one, well let me search, i have done a startrek button control that have rounded corners..

it is a fake one, now how do I get the form to be rounded?

Draw it.

Here is an article related to it.

I tried that, it didn't work for me

I just need the top 2 corners to be curved, and thats it, isn't there someway to just set that part on transparency?

Yes, here is a cdoe to make your Form Transparent.

Code:

---

Public Const GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20)
Public Const WS_EX_TRANSPARENT = &H20&
Public Const SWP_FRAMECHANGED = &H20
Public Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Public Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Public Const SWP_SHOWME = SWP_FRAMECHANGED Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
Public Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2

Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, _
ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

Make a CommandButton on your Form and Put the following code into it. Also, set the BorderStyle property for the Form to None.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    SetWindowLong Me.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
    SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0&, 0&, 0&, 0&, SWP_SHOWME

End Sub
