Re: Non-squared form

Yes its possible. You need to use the CreateRectRgn or CreatePolygonRgn for example.

Do you mean to make part of you form transparent? Like where there is a color to make it transparent?

Look at the links Ryan and Rob provided.

This is done via regions.

If you want to make one colour transparent or translucent then you can use alpha-blending with a colour key.

Head over to the alpha-blending link in my sig, and include this as well:
VB Code:
```
Private Const LWA_COLORKEY As Long = &H1
 
' For each line with SetLayeredWindowAttributes,
' change the 2nd parameter to a Long RGB value for your colorkey
' you can get this through RGB([r], [g], [b]) with each val 0-255
' And to the end of each of those lines, add this
Or LWA_COLORKEY
```
