[hyperb0le]

I want to give my form an alpha-blended drop shadow. How would i go about doing this?

 

Thanks

//Drop Shadow below custom form
       private const int CS_DROPSHADOW = 0x00020000;
       protected override CreateParams CreateParams
       {
           get
           {
               CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
               cp.ClassStyle |= CS_DROPSHADOW;
               return cp;
           }
       }

 

Place the code above after

public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
       }

Hope be useful.
