When youu need a form like a tree or something else what do you do? Windows
provides the CreateRoundRectRegion() function that just cuts the edges of your
form. If you want to do something else, you need to completely draw your
region in a HDC (TCanvas) while Windows looks on your hand to learn it.
After this, you can set the new region to your form using the 'SetWindowRgn()' function.
And how to do this? Here you will find a simple example that just gives some text
and sets the region like it. Expand it by your mind!
}
var
Form1: TForm1;
HRgn: THandle;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
s: string;
begin
DeleteObject(HRgn);
s := InputBox('Region Text', 'Please enter some text to set to the region', 'CoolRgn');
BeginPath(Canvas.Handle);
with Canvas do
begin
Font.Name := 'Comic Sans MS';
Font.Size := 64;
Font.Style := [fsBold];
TextOut(0, 0, s);
end;
EndPath(Canvas.Handle);
HRgn := PathToRegion(Canvas.Handle);
SetWindowRgn(Handle, HRgn, True);
button1.Visible := False;
Color := clRed;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
begin
DeleteObject(HRgn);
end;
procedure TForm1.FormMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
if Button = mbLeft then
begin
ReleaseCapture;
SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0);
end;
end;
