>>SetWindowregion does not redraw the window in different shapes. A window region is a region within a window where NT will permit drawing. Therefore if a window is bigger than its region, not all of the window will be displayed.

There is a program with code to do this in VB5. The program generates code for a form for ANY shape the user specifies. If you run this and look at the code generated by the form you will see the API calls as well as how they are implemented. If you succeed in doing this in VFP please let me know. The URL is

If you can't find it or it is outdated drop me a line and I will email the zip file to you.
