Wel, this is a hard-coded application, ONLY for people interested in knowing more, 
it describes another way of doing starnge shaped forms !!

Answer:

Well, Declare these 2 sentences to your PROTECTED declaration 

procedure EvEraseBkgnd(var M: tMessage); message WM_ERASEBKGND;
procedure EvNcHitTest(var M: tMessage); message WM_NCHITTEST;

Then Of Course, add them in the body code !! 
1   procedure tForm1.EvEraseBkgnd(var M: tMessage);
2   begin
3     { No Erase Window Background.... }
4     M.Result := 1;
5   end;
6   
7   procedure tForm1.EvNcHitTest(var M: tMessage);
8   begin
9     inherited;
10    { If Hit in Client Area then simulate hit in Caption Area }
11    if M.Result = HTCLIENT then
12      M.Result := HTCAPTION;
13  end;
14  make the following OnFormPaint procedure.. 
15  
16  procedure TForm1.FormPaint(Sender: TObject);
17  var
18    Buffer: tBitmap;
19  begin
20    Buffer := tBitmap.create;
21    Buffer.LoadFromResourceName(hinstance, 'FORM');
22    Bitblt(Canvas.handle, 0, 0,
23      Buffer.width, Buffer.height,
24      Buffer.canvas.handle, 0, 0,
25      SrcCopy);
26    Buffer.free;
27  end;

And On Your Form, Put Any Buttons Or TEdits Or Anything You Want To Add, Try Your 
Form, I think it is working just as it used to work all the time, that is true, 
this is not the secret, the big part is here 

OnFormCreate Procedure Needs To Be Added :-)) 

28  procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
29  var
30    Region1: array of tPoint;
31    Region1hrgn: hRgn;
32  begin
33    SetLength(Region1, 59);
