Hi Laurent,

I too agree with you on this. The circular shape i just mention as a case.
It can be any shape.

Its just an idea.. good or bad will depend on how and when one finds its
application.

I remember that MSVC++ had a similar thing to set the "shape" of the window
but here how to do i am not sure of.

Thanks

Hi,

How can i create an arbitrary shaped window? Mouse events should be
handled in the shape only and not the rectangular window portion.
For Ex. If my window is circular, then outside the circle, any mouse should
go to desktop or whatever is there behind it.
Using borderless and transparent mainwindow i can only display it circular
but mouse events still be there in rectangular region which i want to
be only in circular (or whatever defined) region.
If anyone can suggest the best possible way to do it would be great.

After this is done, i would like to dynamically change the window shape
depending on user inputs
Thanks in Advance

I think a circular window, or almost any other shaped window, is a bad idea. That will confuse the user. In a circular window, where is the window title bar?
