Re: How to have a Border with Rounded Corners

Hi,

I had this code kindly posted for me in this group a while back and it gives
curved corners to a form. I think something similar will work for Controls.

Private Sub BaseForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load



'Draw Form

If Not Me.DesignMode Then 'Just learnt this today!!

Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
Me.Size = New Size(800, 500)



Dim p As New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath

Dim CurveSize As Int32 = 250

p.StartFigure()

p.AddArc(New Rectangle(0, 0, CurveSize, CurveSize), 180, 90)

p.AddLine(CurveSize, 0, Me.Width - CurveSize, 0)

p.AddArc(New Rectangle(Me.Width - CurveSize, 0, CurveSize,
CurveSize), -90, 90)

p.AddLine(Me.Width, CurveSize, Me.Width, Me.Height - CurveSize)

p.AddArc(New Rectangle(Me.Width - CurveSize, Me.Height -
CurveSize, CurveSize, CurveSize), 0, 90)

p.AddLine(Me.Width - 40, Me.Height, 40, Me.Height)

p.AddArc(New Rectangle(0, Me.Height - CurveSize, CurveSize,
CurveSize), 90, 90)

p.CloseFigure()

Me.Region = New Region(p)

Me.BackColor = Color.Teal

p.Dispose()

end if

End Sub
