Id like to make a borderless mdichild (frmChild) to an mdi form (frmMDI). When I set frmChild.borderstyle = 0 during design time then run it, I see nothing.

Children cannot be borderless...
But I did it once but cannot remember how to do it now
If you maximize a sizable child, it's caption blens with the MDIFORM caption, but I've never seen this before...
I got it so that there was no X, Max or min button, nor an icon that blends with the main form's titlebar. Ill try to remember.
Setting an MDI Child form's BorderStyle to 0 works fine. Try chenging the backcolor of the child form and you'll see what I mean.
But you can't resize it without a border. To resize it, set BorderStyle to 2, ControlBox to False, and remove the Caption.
The only problem with that is you can't move it. To allow moving, set the Caption to a space. (SpaceBar)
this tip solved my headache, thanks jmcswain
