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

VBSFC is free for non-commercial use.

I apologise if this message has annoyed anyone.  It is not intended to
be spam, and I have only posted to the newsgroups to which I consider
it relevant.

Thanks for reading,

Alex Vallat
