VS 2010 Form Without Titlebar, But With Title Text?
Apr 16, 2010
The 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...

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".

I have a class that contains one function: "ShowDialog()" It creates a new openfiledialog and sets its title, but when it is run, the title of the openfiledialog is set to the current directory that is shown in the dialog. I would not like this behavior. Here is the code:
Public Class LoadSet
Public Shared Function ShowDialog() As System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult
Dim Dialog As New System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
Dialog.DefaultExt = ".bsfci"

I'm doing an error log in my code and I'm trying to output the errors to a text file with a specific date/time in the title so they can differentiate. I've tried things like
logname = "C:Documents and SettingsSeDingDesktopErrorserrorsLog " & DateTime.Now.ToString() & ".log"
But I get this msg "The given path's format is not supported." all the time.

I have a favorites bar in my web browser and when I display them on a toolstrip as a toolstripbutton but the bookmarks are stored as a string collection in my.settings and It only displays the url of the bookmark (not the document title of the site)Is there a way to have a toolstripbutton that has the text of the Document Title of the url and the url as the tag of the toolstrip button?

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.

I 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

For my own personal use, I'd like to code an app that disables the icon on the upper left of the window titlebars and in the taskbar of ms windows. This is how it should look when it's done: [URL] (this little autohotkey script is broken in win 7). Is this is feasable in vb? If yes, how do I communicate with the win os? Maybe get a list of active windows and redraw them and the taskbar after replacing their icon by a blank one in memory?

My form holds a group of textbox's that get data from a dataset, it also has a navigator on it to nav the records.I'm trying to have the "title" or text of the form itself change with the contents of the dataset, I can make it change using the nav button events, but I have to put code into every single event (bindingnavigatorMoveFirst_click, movenext.... etc) and the title does not show when the form first loads that way.
Dim xName As String = ComboBox5.SelectedValue
Dim xCase As String = CaseNumberTextBox.Text
Me.Text = "Case " & xCase & " worked by " & xName

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?

I am trying to display a child form in a Mdi Form without the child Form's title bar showing. The title bar is showing with the default Icon, not even the icon of the child form. When the icon on this second title bar is clicked the popup menu (Restore/Move/etc.) shows.

What I can't figure out is how to change the title of a form. Meaning when it opens, at the top (title bar) it will say Form1 for example, how can that be changed?

I found this link. [URL]. I copied the code to my app and tried it. It didn't work for me. I think in may not have worked because I have a panel control with the dock property set to fill and Label inside the Panel with the Labels Dock property set to Fill. So I changed the mouse event names from Form to Label1, that didn't work for me either. One other thing you should probably know is that I have a timer control running as well (don't know if that makes a difference).

It has to be a simple line of code but I do not know how to construct it. Using VB 2010 Express, I have a MDI parent form and many child forms. I want the parent form to determine what child form is active and load data into the RichTextBox1 on the child form. Each Child form has a RichTextBox1. The parent form gets its data by loading a file.
I am close to a solution but just can't get there. You will see in the code below, if I make a direct reference to a specific child form, it works great. What I want to do is to use the Active Form function to determine which form to write to. I have looked at the MS tutorial which gets me close.

A question in the textbook asks me to use a check box to hide the form title. This is not a homework or test question. I'm doing the book's programming exercises in order to further my knowledge of Visual Basic.
I have completed the entire project, but this alone stumps me. I can't use IF statements or anything beyond what I have learned up to Chapter 2 of this book. The book is Programming in Visual Basic 2010 by Bradley and Millspaugh.
If anyone has this book, can you assist me in learning how to hide the form title by using a check box?
