Does anyone know how to create a winforms app similar to Microsft Media
Player. I can create a form that has a background bitmap and a transparency
color, thus creating a no rectangular form but how do they handle the
resizing of the form without stretching the background bitmap. Also media
player can switch back to a standard resizable window with a border. How is
this done?

Any info or example code would be appreciated

Thanks
