Window Frame "glow" effect

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Desperately trying to get the Windows 7 style frame window glow (drop shadow on all sides) to work with a skinned CJ main frame window.  All of the CJ skinned window examples I've seen show them without a glow.
Just using CS_DROPSHADOW is insufficient.

iTunes and Zune are examples of what im trying to achieve.

Have tried using a dwm approach such as this:

 HRESULT hr;
 int val = 2;
 hr = DwmSetWindowAttribute(this->m_hWnd, 2, &val, 4);
 if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
 {
  OUTPUT("Failed DWM SetAttribute\n");
 }
 MARGINS margins;
 margins.cxLeftWidth = -1;  // 8
 margins.cxRightWidth = -1;  // 8
 margins.cyBottomHeight = -1; // 20
 margins.cyTopHeight = -1;       // 27
 hr = DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(this->m_hWnd, &margins);
 if (!SUCCEEDED(hr))
 {
  OUTPUT("Failed DWM ExtendFame\n");
 }

But this does not work.   

Does anyone have a skinned app out there with the standard aero/win7/vista border glow?

thx!
