Non Rectangular Window sample

A small sample showing how to create a non-rectangular window.
Windows provides an API called SetWindowRgn() that makes it easy for applications to
create irregularly shaped windows.
Then you need to catch the
WM_NCHITTEST,
WM_NCACTIVATE and
WM_NCPAINT
Windows messages to paint your
own window background and control the mouse clicks.
