Hi,
i have some questions about non-rectangular forms
1) i build a form as a non-rectangular by setting the form background to
some bmp file and the transparenceyKe y to the
color which i want to make transparent and every thing ok BUT when i m
replacing the bmp
file i can see the new one in the form designer but when i m running the
program i m getting the old bmp file.
i tried to remove the background but it didn't help.
what i m missing ?
2) how can i make a non-rectangular form for monitors which working with
more than 24 bit color depth ?
3) how can i make the non-rectangular form to be resizable ?
4) how can i prevent the duplicating of the background bmp file on the form
?

Instead of using 'TransparencyKe y' to archieve transparency, you can
create a 'System.Drawing .Drawing2D.Grpa hicsPath' or appropriate shape,
create a 'Region' object from it and assign it to the form's 'Region'
property at runtime.

the regular expression module fails to perform non-greedy matches as
