How can I make curved shaped panels and buttons in C# WPF?

Is it possible to create non-rectangular buttons and panels i开发者_JS百科n C# Windows application without any sharp edges ?

You can do just about anything design-wise if you can use WPF. For example: http://geekswithblogs.net/cskardon/archive/2008/06/20/roundedbutton-button-style-wpf.aspx.

EDIT:

OK, no WPF. How about this then:

• Creating Gel Buttons with Windows Forms : Part 1
• Creating Gel Buttons with Windows Forms : Part 2
• Creating Gel Buttons with Windows Forms : Part 3

A pure Windows Forms approach.

Customising the .NET Panel control:

BorderWidth - Controls the width of the border.

BorderColor - The color of the border.

Curvature - The radius of the curve used to draw the corners of the panel.

CurveMode - The style of the curves to be drawn on the control.

In WPF, you can set the specify the curvature of a border with the CornerRadius attribute.

<Border BorderBrush="#FF000000" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="8">
   <Grid/>
</Border>
