VB Aero Glass effect

Hello !
In this tutorial I'll teach you how you can change your form layout to the Aero theme.
The Aero theme is a theme that you can only use in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Start by creating a new project (windows forms application) and call it Aero Effect.

Double click form1 once the design has loaded.
Add the following codes:
 

 

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class Form1

    

        Public cxLeftWidth As Integer

        Public cxRightWidth As Integer

        Public cyTopHeight As Integer

        Public cyButtomheight As Integer

    End Structure

    

    End Function

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Try

            BackColor = Color.Black

            Dim margins As MARGINS = New MARGINS

            margins.cxLeftWidth = 0

            margins.cxRightWidth = 0

            margins.cyTopHeight = 50

            margins.cyButtomheight = 0

 

            Dim result As Integer = DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(Me.Handle, margins)

        Catch ex As Exception

            MsgBox(ex.Message)

        End Try

    End Sub

End Class
