I am trying to create a form that has a notch in the Upper Left corner.
Currently we use the Transparent propertry to see other forms behind the
current one. That is causing some problems when the user is interacting with
it. So we want to notch a corner out or only make that corner transparent?
Does anyone have any ideas on how ot do this?

Create a region for the shape of your form. See Form.Region.
