Originally by Paul Caton (txtCodeId=64867), this is a class that gives your forms a customizable shadow. Updated to use LaVolpe's revamped SelfSub (txtCodeId=68737) and adds support for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

After a this years: A stable, smooth and great form shadow! IDE abort safe, selfcontained in a single drop-in class. Cool! Doesn't hurt on NT4 (checked by me): Just no shadow, ok, but no problem by the gimmick itself. Thx alot, my 5 (dimmed) ***** and regards - LiTe

Heh. Whordan always did have a habit of riding the coat tails of others. Never an original concept, always someone elses.

tonyn, I tested it out today and there is definitely a massive leak on resizing the form. I'll take a look at it when I get the chance. In the meantime, I would recommend others only use this for non-resizable forms (as I had been doing and didn't catch it).
