Thanks.

In this program, they set the region of the window calling SetWindowRgn, there are some functions to create a region in fivewin:

• CreateEllipticRgn[/*:m]
• CreateRectRgn[/*:m]
• CreateRoundRectRgn[/*:m][/list:u]
  To create a region from a bitmap you can do something like this:
  
  Code (fw): Select all Collapse

     LOCAL hRgn := nil, hRgn2
     for( every opaque pixel of bitmap )
        if hRgn = nil
           hRgn := CreateRectRgn( x,y, x+1,y+1 )
        else
           hRgn2 := CreateRectRgn( x,y, x+1,y+1 )
           CombineRgn( hRgn, hRgn, hRgn2 )
           DeleteObject( hRgn2 )
        endif
     next
     SetWindowRgn( ::hWnd, ::hRgn )

  
  It works on every versions of windows from 2000.
