Re: Alpha Blended Windows in Vista and XP

So if my bitmap has alpha channel it will be blended on the screen?

I am using the SetLayeredWindowAttributes function to create a irregular
shaped window using a Bitmap on a form with a transparency color. This
works great but I would like to get rid of the jagged edges that show on
the
screen.

Does anyone know of a way to alpha blend the edges of a window with its
background?

You need to use a Bitmap with an alpha channel.
Hope this helps,

Mike
