Ah thank you.

For anyone who's interested, I converted that code to C#:

 public GraphicsPath GetGraphicsPath(int x, int y, int width, int height,
int radius)
 {
  GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath();
  gp.AddLine(x + radius, y, x + width - radius, y);
  gp.AddArc(x + width - radius, y, radius, radius, 270, 90);
  gp.AddLine(x + width, y + radius, x + width, y + height - radius);
  gp.AddArc(x + width - radius, y + height - radius, radius, radius, 0,
90);
  gp.AddLine(x + width - radius, y + height, x + radius, y + height);
  gp.AddArc(x, y + height - radius, radius, radius, 90, 90);
  gp.AddLine(x, y + height - radius, x, y + radius);
  gp.AddArc(x, y, radius, radius, 180, 90);
  gp.CloseFigure();
  return gp;
 }

 public void DrawRoundRect(Graphics g, Pen p, int x, int y, int width, int
height, int radius)
 {
  GraphicsPath gp = GetGraphicsPath(x, y, width, height, radius);
  g.DrawPath(p, gp);
  gp.Dispose();
 }

 public void FillRoundRect(Graphics g, Brush b, int x, int y, int width,
int height, int radius)
 {
  GraphicsPath gp = GetGraphicsPath(x, y, width, height, radius);
  g.FillPath(b, gp);
  gp.Dispose();
 }

So it does.. thanks Bob.

Just thought I'd let you know that I *LOVE* the new halo effect sample. Will
look very nice in my splash screen!

Thanks.

That was too simple :-))
