I need some help to handle the Region property of my Form in the correct
way.
Usually when I create shaped forms in my programs, I modify the Form.Region
property, making it include only a part of the form client rectangle (I use
a custom button to close my form).
The problem is that when I want to go back to a normal shaped form at
runtime, I use the following line of code:
this.Region=new System.Drawing. Region(new
System.Drawing. Rectangle(0,0,t his.Width,this. Height));
This line works, but creates an old fashioned flat titlebar, not a XP style
titlebar.
This effect is very easily observable: just put the line above at the end of
a Form constructor and run the program.
I tried with Application.Ena bleVisualStyles (), but it doesn't seem to work.
The Form class doesn't have a FlatStyle property to be set to System.
Any help is welcome. Thank you in advance. 2 1898
If you just want to restore the form to its "default" state then you don't
need a region at all, so
this.Region = null;
should work.

Responses (as a percentage of total responses):

Hi all,
I have an odd shaped graphic I would like to use as my interface (see it

would have, I now have the graphic with a white border as my form.

As far as I know, Groupboxes only come in one shape, a rectangle. But
on one of my forms, it would be best if I could have a groupbox that's

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
