Borderless MDI Child Form Border Flashes When Opened
Mar 22, 2010
I have a series of MDI child forms I page through to present learning material, all of which are borderless and framed within a main interface form. Each form has its FormBorderStyle set to None, and the form's Text property is blank. I am loading each fom on demand, rather than setting up a stack and pushing one to the front, as this is simpler for me with my limited programming experience.The problem is that as each form is opened/shown, the border briefly flashes in the centre of the ParentForm before docking in the top left corner as programmed. I have even tried coding the Form's Load event to make sure the border is set to None, as shown below:[code]This makes sure there is not a brief delay between the old form closing and the new one showing.

I have an MDI parent form and multiple child forms. Child forms are borderless and set to start in the maximized position because I want the forms to completely fill/resize within the parent form and only display the selected form, one form at a time.
Problem I have is whenever I load a form it puts another bar at the top of the screen and another control box. Is there any way to get the child forms to load in maximized state without this bar? I tried .controlbox = false and it gets rid of the control box but the bar is still there.

1)Interestingly, if I try to draw on a Form with formborderstyle = none, no drawing appears.On a form, with borders; no problem
2)If I draw from wihin a paint event, i can draw on both.However, the paint event has its own issues, most irritatingly the fact that it doesn't draw immedately, but only after going all the way back through a whole chain of calls.anyway that I can draw directly on a borderless form?

Would you like to print a form, without borders. I've tried several things but what I can only see in the picture. Also would like to put a scroll bar on the form to work in an A4 format.

I'm trying to make a borderless form. I chose a dark red color as a backcolor and as a transparency key. I made my own dragable title bar, my own close, minimize, maximize and restore buttons and all that stuff. BUT, in order to imitate the Microsoft Windows' style perfectly, I tried to copy that outer glow that Microsoft has:I had to add an outer glow to my form in Photoshop and save it as .PNG. Here's what happened:The dark red became darker under the influence of my outer glow, and it was not considered a dark red anymore. How can I get rid of that?

I already got the move part, that's easy, what I'm having trouble with is when I click on the form and try to move it, it shifts a little, that is really annoying, I just want it to be smooth. I want it to be as if I'm moving the form from the title bar. [Code]

From the dynamic form I added. I realized that I can't get a gif animation to run in the form's background. So I thought I'd give it a try by embeding a picturebox on the dynamic form, but it's not working hence why I'm here.
So on my main form (Form1) I have 2 buttons, openfiledialog, and a picturebox. When you click button1 you browse for the an image to display in the picturebox, and when you press button2 as you can see from the code below. It'll open a new form, but what I want is to have the picturebox displayed over the whole form, but also play the gif animation I selected from my main form via Form1 onto the dynamically embeded one, but in the picturebox. Now I can't use it as BackgroundImage so I'm using it as just an Image, but my problem now is I'm unable to move each borderless form, and am unable to close each as well.[code]....

As you can see from the code provided below as well as the title, that I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to move this dynamically embeded borderless form in VB.NET.
Private Sub AddWidget_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddWidget.Click
Dim WidgetForm As Form
WidgetForm = New Form()
WidgetForm.ShowInTaskbar = False
[code]....
I've done this method (code below) a couple times in the past, and it always seems to work for moving a form, but I'm unsure on how to apply this for the dynamically embeded form.
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
drag = True
mousex = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X - Me.Left
[code]....

I have a little "designing" problem in VB 2010. So, I made a cool abstract background for my application in Photoshop. And I wanted to make the form transparent and BorderLess. But, in order to imitate Windows, I also had to put in a very small black outer glow. So, I made the BackColor in a DarkGreen, then the same for the TranksparencyKey. BUT, because of the outer glow, now it looks like this:

I have a MenuStrip with File > New, Open, Save, Exit located in a parent form, and a RichTextBox located in a child form.The problem I'm running into is concerned with the destination of the file elected from "Open" and the save.When a user selects their file from "Open", I need it to open the child form and put the text into the RichTextBox.I also need the program to be able to "Save" from a child form, whether it's been brought up via "New" or "Open".

I am building a Windows Forms app without a border, so I have complete control over the interface. A few years ago I managed to create a VB6 app that I could drag the form using a control on it, but I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it, and Google has failed me.
