Tag the library! WPF, Forms, ASP.NET, what? Don't force experts to do double work.

To set up a non-rectangular shape of control, you need to set its property System.Windows.Forms.Control.Region to some non-rectangular region (of the type System.Drawing.Region).

This is the only way to do it with Forms. The ways not using Region may only visually create a non-rectangular impression, but operating with mouse can easily proof this is cheating. In real non-rectangular, mouse events are dispatched to the control only withing the region.

That was about System.Windows.Forms. In WPF, this is much easier to do. Are you interested? (Too bad you did not tag the UI library you want to use. Do it!)

First link is cheating -- this is not a correct way, easy to see incorrect behavior. The second reference contains a correct answer. Well, I'll vote 4.
Please see my answer where I explain it.
