Hi James12314909,

For just the bottom corners, please try this code, you can also resize the FORM
 by the edges and the rounded corners will remain.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint

        'Change this to whatever size you require.>>
        Dim RoundedCornerSize As Integer = 150

        Dim g As New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath
        g.AddLine(0, 0, Me.Width, 0)
        g.AddLine(Me.Width, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height - RoundedCornerSize)
        g.AddArc(Me.Width - RoundedCornerSize, Me.Height - RoundedCornerSize, RoundedCornerSize, RoundedCornerSize, 0, 90)
        g.AddLine(Me.Width - RoundedCornerSize, Me.Height, RoundedCornerSize, Me.Height)
        g.AddArc(0, Me.Height - RoundedCornerSize, RoundedCornerSize, RoundedCornerSize, 90, 90)
        g.AddLine(0, Me.Height - RoundedCornerSize, 0, 0)
        Me.Region = New Region(g)

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize

        Me.Refresh()

    End Sub

End Class

Answer 3

Hi everyone,

I was thinking of adding a post here which would be code for a FORM whereby you could
 turn ON / OFF each of the 4 corners between Rounded or RightAngled.

As addition to that idea, how about a FORM where you can have each of the corners either;

Rounded / Right-Angled / SlantedAt45Degrees

This could be done by adding 4 properties to a FORM which I suggest as;

TopRightCornerStyle

TopLeftCornerStyle

BottomRightCornerStyle

BottomLeftCornerStyle


Would anyone be interested?

Hello Sylva,

Interesting!!

The project as linked at.>> http://customerborderform.codeplex.com/

from.>>

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformsdesigner/thread/892c4fdd-348c-4189-8607-e60adc793f76

uses 13 separate C# files.

It may take me sometime to convert each of them.

If you want to post your email address in the form of  sylva <at> wherever.com

( that way you will avoid spam bots ), I will get back to you later if I manage to convert it to Vb.
