How to: Have no borders and stuff!
I would like to know how to get rid of the borders of an app, the blue bar at the top with the minimize, restore down and the close buttons. i want to get rid of it completely also i want to make the background transparent so that if i have rounded corners it doesnt show the grey background of the app!!
Thanks

hi there...
making the form transparent in vb6 is was almost imposible (I recall somewhere seing that someone make that posible, using a lot of api calls, but i can't remember where...)
for the other problem, just change the border style of the form to none...

Set the Border style property of form to None. It will remove the border of the form.

True Brian, but as a property its called a controlbox which is everything that the blue bar contains!

Not to put too fine a point on things, it is not actually called a control box. The control box is the clickable box at the left end of the title bar (which is always called a title bar).
If you get rid of all the elements in the title bar, it will shrink to invisibility. If you have a close button (at the right), or a minimize or restore button, but no control box, the title bar will still be present.
So, you are right insofar as that the title bar will be shown if there is a control box mandated for it to contain. But that does not equate to calling the title bar a control box.
I just thought you might want to move away form a characterization like "That blue thingy at the top."

I disagree becuase i have the control box property set to false and the close and restore button set to true but the "Title bar" isnt displayed! But the rest i understand now, and i do like my "characterisations"! U have to admit!
