Thread: title bar question

    I am able to get rid of the title bar in my app. But the problem is, is that it also doesn't show up on the task bar either. It's just a blank button(because I had to set my forms caption to "" ). Does anybody know how to get rid of the title bar but still have my programs name and icon on the button on the taskbar?

    set the ShowInTaskbar property of the form to True.

    I did that and it only shows an empty button.

    Why did you have to set the Form's window caption to ""?
    {Insert random techno-babble here}

    {Insert quote from some long gone mofo here}

    the only way to do this is to make the form's border style = 1 or none. then type the caption in under it's properties, and make ShowInTaskBar = True

    no it doesn't, read my post again... very carefully.... it says set your border style to None, oops! sorry it said 1 i meant 0.
    Make your form have these proerties:

    BorderStyle = 0 - None
    Caption = Stinky Chicken
    ShowInTaskBar = True

    That will work.

    yes that will work but it won't have a border which takes alot of coolness out of the app uless you add a custom border or skin the app:

    This still isn't working for me, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I set my properties exactly like you said.
    Isn't there a way of doing this with API?
