Hello seniors, :)
I have seen many applications(like nero and some keygens) which have non rectangular windows.I googled it to find that they use bitmaps as resources and make the unnecesary area invisible.I read iczelion tut but couldn't understand that how to load the bitmap in a dialog box so that only controls and bimaps are visible and not the dialog box grey screen.please exlain !

a good rule is to watch and try all examples after installing masm package.
CWS example is example of using regions.
regards!

I have seen CWS examples of polygons etc but what i am talking about is bitmaps
Thanks for your reply
Thanks for your reply
"Skin a window.zip" from Iczelion collection? ;)
Google for RegionCreator tool made by Richard de Oude. there is some info on it on The Code Project website. Also see MSDN ifo on extended regions.
Hi
In the OOP section you can find a demo of a Splash window that uses window skinning http://www.asmcommunity.net/board/index.php?topic=24520.0 . In the OA32 package is a Skin demo too.

Thanks it was useful but a little bit overtechnical for me ;)
lonelyboy yeah sorry, it's a slight bit more advanced than some of the other methods of doing it... the advantage is that region creation even on complex bitmaps is almost instantaneous even on old hardware - the common method is dog slow, and requires precomputed regions to be usable.
