AntiAliased Form

[Guest]

Hi All
i had made a borderless and shaped window using this code

public Form1()
{
this.FormBorderStyle=FormBorderStyle.None;
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode=SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
GraphicsPath GP=new GraphicsPath();
//Codeing to get any shape
this.Region=new Region(GP);
}

it works but i got a problem there is some pixilation on the borders which
looks very bad
is there any way to make AntiAliasing between the Form and the screen?

thx all

I don't think Windows supports such a feature. You can in fact draw to the
screen and in that way it might be possible to anti-alias the window border,
but I wouldn't venture that far. It is better to leave this part of window
management to the operating system.

Think it this way: you own only the area your window contains, not more or
less.
