I have a form that I want to keep the border on, but no titlebar.An example is a form with FormBorderStyle set to FixedSingle, then set the Form's Text to nothing. This is what I'm after, however, I want to maintain the "Blue" styling of Windows XP. When doing this, it currently makes the form gray like it stops using visual styles.is there any way to get the blue "Single" border around my form without the Titlebar?

VS Version: 2005-2010 (Doesn't matter)
Language: VB.Net / C# / C++ (Doesn't matter as long as it can be called from a managed exe)
For rich textbox in vb.net i want to have single border line. Fixed single and Fixed 3D are having some dimensional effect which i do not want. And i would also like to change the color of the border.
And same thing with the button, for them how to have single line border and specified color.
Does anyone know how i would go about adding a control (a button) to the windows title bar area?Sort of like firefox does.
I'm doing this so i can remove the Toolstrip Menubar at the top of my application to give it my "working area".
Ok my form is titlebarless but i want the user to be able to click and drag it to whereever on screen. i found this in VB6 can anyone convert it or do you have another solution??

I have created a form containing a text box and a button. i would like to know if it is possible to embed this form in the title bar of the current active window that is opened eg: ie,notepad,word this is so that i can enter a word in the text box and use text to speech to say it or highlight a word in the active window and it will be placed in the text box of my form. i can position the form in the top right location but then the form position is stagnant.
View 3 RepliesI cannot begin to explain how often I have tried to remove the Maximize button from the top of my form window.. I know that it can be disabled via properties, also that it can be removed if I disable both the maximize and minimize buttons, BUT I need the minimize button, just not the maximize button
View 10 RepliesThe main form in my application is a small form without a titlebar. I accomplished this by setting these properties:
- ControlBox = False
- MinimizeBox = False
- MaximizeBox = False
- Text = "" (empty)
As long as the Text (title text) remains empty, the form has no title bar. Note that it still has a border so it can be resized (FormBorderStyle = Sizable, as usual, not None!)Now, because I have to keep the Text property empty, the taskbar button never shows any text... But I want to show text in the taskbar button!
As far as I know, the only way to set the text on the taskbar button is using the forms Text property, but I cannot set that because the form will have a titlebar if I do...

But i need not only for closing window i want to close the Database connection also. B`se if i close this window the debugging is not closing. The database is not close properly.

View 2 Replieshow to disable the form border, and just have 1 button when your form loads i put a button on my form and i changed the background image but i can still see the border i know how to remove the controls on the form but i wanna see just a picture like bellow..
as you can see the form doesnt have any borders and that is what it loads when you click on the program.
I am trying to make a form with a border like the border on the Windows Vista volume control. The form would need to be resizeable as well.
Here is a form with the ControlBox property set to false.
I have searched on this but I keep finding people trying to keep others from moving forms. And also nothing in the code bank.
Here is what I am making. I am making a tournament overlay program that tracks current players progress for shoutcasters (displays their name, race, score, color, ect).
I have a control panel that will change all that information on another form, the borderless one, that will "Always be on top" of the game displaying information.
If a form has its form border style set to None, how would you go about moving it?
I thought that this would work:
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
Me.Location = MousePosition
End Sub
but it doesn't.
I want some help with a border less form! I want to move the form using the tab control's "backcolor" area like in Google Chrome.

I am making a virtual iPod touch in VB.NET, and I hate it how I have a form that I can't drag and move the form around the screen, I've trying making the form goto Mouse's location when the mouse moves and Dragging = True, but that doesn't work and makes the form flicker around at the speed of light.
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to make my own borders for my form, which worked out but wast like I expected, (I used an image and Formborderstyle = none). I have looked at other applications(like Internet Explorer and Google Chrome) when they are not maximized, the top part of the form which you usually cant edit(where there you put your application's title and the control box is). I mean those top parts are larger than those of normal applications, how can that be done? To be clear: with top part i mean: the part that is part of your system, where an icon, a label with the application's title, and the control box is. To be more clear, see the screenshot provided.
View 2 RepliesI want to create a software which have a Vista-like border style. I currently created some buttons (1 per side and 1 per corner) which have a background image corresponding to their position on the form. But it requires to much CPU when I resize the window (and need a lot of code lines to works ) So, I want to know if their is a way to create a border style (and maybe to add it in the Form.FormBorderStyle enum) to make it easily tranparent, etc.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to copy a control that is on the form but also runs off th the form because it is bigger than the form and screen? If I have the height and width of an area I want to copy that runs off the form, any way to grab it? The form will not be minimized and will be the focused program. When i click a button I want to do this. Either copy to clipboard or even just save as an image. I can even have the handle to the control if that is needed.
