How to remove the exit-button?

Hello there!

-I want to remove the whole "upper-bar"( where the minimize-, maximize- and exit-buttons are ) in my program.

-I`ve removed the maximize and minimize buttons, by setting their property to false in the form, but how do I do this with the last one?:confused:

make the form's
border style property to fixed single
and
control box = false

Set the ControlBox property of the form to False.

If you don't want any titlebar at all, set the Caption property to an empty string.

Hope this helps

You can also remove the Close menu from the system menu

-Hmm, okay - thanks!:D I`m sitting at school, so I`m not able to try this yet, but will this work when I have menus on my form?

-I`ve made this Active-X, which makes me able to "put" the program in the tray. To do this I use the PopUp-function when clicking on the icon in the tray. When you do this, a menu appears, and you can select "hide" or "show".

-To make these menus appear, I had to use the menu-editor on the form, but with "visible" unchecked... The question is :

is it possible to make the whole titlebar dissapear when I`ve got menus on the form?

To remove the system menu close
(I did not test this code, just made it with API-viewer and MSDN library. It can contain some mistakes :)

VB Code:

Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" ( _
    ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" _
    Alias "RemoveMenu" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Public Const SC_CLOSE = &HF060&
Public Const MF_BYCOMMAND = &H0&
 
Private Sub Form_Load
    DisableXButton
End Sub
 
Private Sub DisableXButton
    RemoveMenu(GetSystemMenu(Form.hwnd,0),SC_CLOSE,MF_BYCOMMAND)
end sub
 
Private Sub EnableXButton
    GetSystemMenu(Form.hwnd,true)
End Sub

Looks interesting! I`m going to check out your code when I get home, thank you!:)

To remove your menus, make the first entry on each Menu so its Visiblity = False, then call the menus as Popup menus.

Place a Label at the top of the form and when the user clicks the label Popup the menu.
