Hello,
I would like to create a panel with a custom shape, instead of a regular Windows panel. My idea was to create a panel, hide the system bar and the borders and set the background color to transparent. Then I would put a canvas on it, also with transparent background, and draw a bitmap with a mask or alpha channel on it. This bitmap would represent my panel. Then I could put CVI controls on it by creating them on my transparent panel and make sure that they are in front of the canvas in the Z-plane.
Unfortunately there are a few problems:
1. I am not allowed to change the border attributes of a parent panel.
2. I am not allowed to set the background color of a panel to transparent.
Is there anyone who has an idea of how to get around these problems? Or how I could achieve my goal in another way?
Thanks a lot!
