Dear All, VBSFC 6 has finally been released, with newly added support for producing Delphi forms and C++ code (which is why this is cross-posted to a couple of new forums). For those of you who have not yet heard of VB Shaped Form Creator it is a utility which allows you to draw and edit a shape using standard drawing tools, or edge trace a bitmap to produce a polygon shape, then use the final shape to make an irregular window. VBSFC produces code which will generate the required region on form load, apply it to the window using SetWindowRgn, then delete the region on form unload. Alternatively you could use the region for any other purpose. The output is 100% source code - no supporting OCX's or DLL's are required. For Delhpi and VB a complete form (.frm or .dfm and .pas) is produced. For C++ source files are produced (.cpp and .h) which have a function "ShapeWindow(hWnd)" that can be used to apply the shape to any window. Version 6 also includes a Form Animator to produced animated shapes, but this only works for VB forms, not for Delphi or C++. For more information on VBSFC and to download a copy, go to http://www.comports.com/AlexV/VBSFC.html or http://www.ByAlexV.com/VBSFC.html VBSFC is free for non-commercial use.
