Hi paolo,
I must admit that awt API's are quite obscure to me, and it's difficult to say what can be done and what cannot.
like for me
Anyway, if I well remember, when I was playing with VB, peoples used some window API's to create shaped buttons or forms.
The trick was something like this:
- create a non rectangular region on the screen (Hwnd = 0) using intesection or union or elliptic regions
- set the region to a form (or control) using the API call setWindowRegion (or something similar)
yesy, i did such games in my earlier years (created a stamp-like window with sinus and cosinus)
That's why i asked
Now, In the OOo API's there should be something similar because you can create and manipulate regions, for example:....
Unfortunately I've no idea if you can create a region from the screen and if you can set a region to a specified window, but maybe it worth some further investigations on this track.
I'll try to have a look when some time be patient , it may take weeks, months, years ;)
Thansk again Paolo for your snippet
