Select your Rounded Rectangle Tool, and on the options bar make sure that Paths is selected and adjust the Radius of the rounded corners, to your pleasing.
Draw out the rectangle. Now with the Direct Selection Tool select one corner of the rectangle. Two nodes (or points) will be highlighted. Switch to the Pen Tool and hover it over one of the highlighted nodes. When the cursor has a little minus sign (-) beside it, click the node, and it will be deleted.
Next, change to the Convert Point Tool and click on the remaining node, in that corner. That point should still be highlighted, so now with the arrow keys move the node in the direction needed to square it up. When there are no crimps in the line, you'll know that the line is straight.
Repeat for the adjacent corner.
From the pull out menu on the paths palette (or a right click on the path), you can convert the path to a selection, which you can fill or stroke.
From there, you're on your own.

Last question on the above topic.
Okay i followed your instructions SCync and i got the desired shape that i wanted.
I filled it with a colour but now how do i get rid of the excess in the two corners that i curved, the two triangular shaped white bits, if that makes any sense.

Should look something like this...all you would need to do is stroke the width of the line you need.
