Rounded Corner Forms in Microsoft Access 64bit

[eantar]

Hi all,



New on this forum.

I have applications that user Rounded Corner Forms. I'm using the functionality provided by Isladog (Colin Riddington), not sure if he's on this forum.

Anyway, I need to migrate these applications to 64bit Office. But the functionality in the 32bit applications uses the gdi32 and user32 libraries.

Does anyone know of a 64bit replacement that I can use to achieve forms with rounded corners?

Thanks

eantar,
Colin(Isladogs) is a regular on this forum and AWF. I'm sure he'll respond.

Hi @eantar
Not sure where you got the code you are using from but the Rounded Corners code works fine in 64-bit Access. Indeed I use 64-bit Access myself.
See the example app at: Rounded Corners in Forms for 64-bit compatible code

Windows 11 has already a Rounded corner form, so you don't need any VBA code for it.

jojo, how does rounded corner in Windows 11 translate to rounded corner in Access?

Popup forms have rounded corners and look very nice.

True. However many users including both the OP and myself haven't yet moved from Windows 10.

To effect a rounded border I've used a form with a disabled button (with rounded corners) sized to fit to the edges of the detail section (no header or footer - if you require them, use a subform on top of the button). You can also use the command button border properties - fill, outline and effects. Set the form border to none and set the detail back color to one you would never use and in the open or load event set this colour to transparent. As with any no border form, you'll also need to put in your own code to allow the user to move or resize the form.

Thanks Colin. I wasn't sure if it would work in 64bit because the libraries use "32" in the naming. So thanks for letting me know.

For info, all examples & code on my website should work in both bitnesses unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Mine are still square if not in Acdialog?
