Hi,

I'm struggling to find information on how to achieve something similar to the following:

I cant include links or images, so please copy and paste the following into the address bar :(

The parts I'm interested in are the alpha blended shadow and rounded corners.

Some guidance on how to achieve this would be very helpful!
I need to know how to do this using the standard functions in the Windows API (Windows XP and later) as I’m using LabVIEW to code my program (I know this isn’t ideal for this)
Am I correct in assuming I need to use ‘Layered Windows ‘.

Any help appreciated

Cheers,
Matt
