Removing header bar

[dnear]

Hey all

Does anyone of you know how to remove the Header bar( not borderstyle none) So i can still size my form but not having the header.

Set forms ControlBox to false and remove the form text in properties, or set them in form_load at runtime.

Me.ControlBox = False
Me.Text = ""

Add this to your Form_Load

        Me.ControlBox = False
        Me.Text = ""

Nope, you'd have to use a borderless form, add (draw?) your own borders and the needed code to resize the form.

Other then that, if you just don't want to allow the user to resize the form from the top you could change the message that makes that happen...

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    ' set form style
    Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable
    Me.ControlBox = False
    Me.Text = ""
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
    MyBase.WndProc(m)
    If m.Msg = &H84 Then ' WM_NCHITTEST = &H84 'non client hit-test
        Select Case m.Result.ToInt32()
            ' 12-14 = detect mouse over top/top-left/top-right borders
            Case 12 To 14 ' see, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645618%28VS.85%29.aspx
                ' change the resize cursor when mouse is over form borders.
                m.Result = CType(1, IntPtr) ' 1=Client, 2=Caption(allow drag form with mouse when on borders).
        End Select
    End If
End Sub
