Hi,

Can I make my MDI Form without Title Bar and Control Box.. Instead of Title Bar I want to place Sheridian Panel and Display Title of my main Application .

... by setting these properties for the form with this order:

1. Border Style = Fixed Dialog
2. Control Box = False
3. Caption = (nothing)

Well, add a label at top of form, color it as you want, add another label over this with the caption you want (transparent color) and generally let your phantasy to create...

You can use the SetWindowLong API to change the MDI Forms Window Style to Exclue the Title Bar and Buttons, eg.


private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (byval hwnd as Long, byval nIndex as Long, byval dwNewLong as Long) as Long
private Const GWL_STYLE = (-16)
private Const WS_OVERLAPPED = &H0&

private Sub MDIForm_Load()
Call SetWindowLong(me.hwnd, GWL_STYLE, WS_OVERLAPPED)
End Sub
