Hi Remy,

I'd like to toggle form shadow at runtime, in the OnShow method, reading a
ini file.

How can I do this? Can you help me writing the right code? I think I have to
write in my header file:

//---------------------------------

virtual void __fastcall TForm1::CreateParams(TCreateParams &Params);

//--------------------------

 and in the cpp file:

void __fastcall TForm1::CreateParams(TCreateParams &Params)
{
   const CS_DROPSHADOW = 0x00020000;

   TForm::CreateParams(Params);

   Params.Style = Params.Style | CS_DROPSHADOW; //<---- is it right???
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

How can restore in my WinXp system, form shadows?

How can I toggle shadows in my forms by code?

Thanks

Mario Sernicola
