Hi! I need a window with round corners on a panel. How can I do that?

Since the manual only suggests the ability to have a square or rectangular window, I'd say create your panel that has the rounded "window" spot in an image editor of your choice, and fill it with black. Then select the window area along with the four round corner pieces to make a square/rectangular selection and save it separately. Then just create the panel and cut out the window in gamestudio, and use the separate panel as an overlay which would contain the four inside rounded corners and black filler which can be set to transparent.

Not too complicated but if it's not clear, let me know and I'll try and explain it better.

Sorry i dont understand. Than you have 2 Images. One with the black hole and transparent corners and One image as the original with corners... Ok, and then i have 2 panels... More i dont understand.. Can you explain Me a little bit more?

Regards

Anyone maked non-rectangle "windows" ??

Here is an example what I mean:



Its not exact that what I need, but these panels have a mask, too.

I believe xbox has the right idea.

yes you will have two panels, but one will act like a mask, like in photoshop.
it will block out the corners to give a rounded look, but that is all it will do. your main image will be preserved and put what ever you want on that panel.


in fact I believe George did an AUM on it somewhere. I will have to search for it.

Thanks seneca. I've searched in the AUMs, too. I found nothing so far...

okay, let me see if I can make one and show you....it may take a while.

Thank you so much!

okay...I was wrong. it is not an AUM, it is in the online C-Lite tutorial http://tutorial.3dgamestudio.net/

look in Workshop 4: Bitmaps. that should show you how. if you still have any questions please post again.

hope this helps. this example may be better than the two panel approach....

Thanks, but.. there is no solution about my problem. I know, that a panel can have a layer or a bitmap with alpha channel ^^
