Ui

[sjhuk]

Hi All,

I am currently experimenting in UI Design in C# and VB.NET. I'm currently trying to override the style of the titlebar, close, minimise button etc etc and ultimatly trying to end up with an interface similar to Microsoft Money 2006

If anyone has any links to articles, or any pointers on how to create such a design then please let me know. I'm only really interested in the top half of the screenshot.

Regards,
Stuart

Set your Form's FormBorderStyle property to "None" and draw / add whatever you need.

Thanks Norfy, I was already going down that route now. Should have really replied to my own thread saying I've found a solution. Have a nice day and thanks for the help

depending on how much time you have and what you're planning for the future of your app, you could also override the controls used (windows, menubar, etc.). this isn't a too hard task in c# and there are plenty of examples on the web.
i'd really give it a thought!

yep, that's what I've done in the past and what I'll continue to do in the future
