    How to... FormBorderStyle 3D Sizable?

    I want to get a 3D effect in the border of the form like when you set the formborderstyle to Fixed3D, but it needs to be sizable.
    How can I accomplish that?

    Ok, tried this and it works:
    Add Panel control to the form
    Set its Dock to fill all the form
    Set its border to 3D

    I'm having issues with my computer at the moment, but set the FormBorderStyle to Fixed3d and set the SizeGripShow to True.

    FormBorderStyle -> Fixed3D
    SizeGripStyle -> Show

    And I cannot see the arrows to resize the form..

    Unfortunatelly, even if you have the SizeGripStyle set to Show, Fixed3D trumps it and it wont. If that is the effect you want, your solution is the best I can think of. kind of a hack but works.
    More important than the will to succeed, is the will to prepare for success.

    Ok, thanks. I cannot find any other solution on the net. So I will keep using the panel control.
