Window Regions?

Amon

Is this possible in Max? I need to show a window in non rectangular form ala winamp.

Are there any XPlatform methods? If not, just a windows way would be fine. Any libs that do this?

This is achievable in C# and a little more complex in C++ but I would like to do this in Max.

Thanks :)

get load of abstract errors when trying to use.

If I use the code as is, it tells me waitevent is not a valid identifier.

if i remove the event functions, it fails at linking.

here's the output

Also note that I tried the Yan one, and it simply does not work. I see a black hole, with solid white borders. nothing region-y about it.
