From one of my previous posts:
You can use an API call to "Erase" the Title Bar from the form, while still leaving the BoarderStyle set to 2-Sizable. Another set of API calls will then allow you to move the form with the mouse, even without the Title Bar. This will allow you to have a graphic, sizable, movable form without a Title Bar, and still keep both the caption and icon in the taskbar.
Create a new project, and place this code in the form. (Leave the BoarderStyle set to 2-Sizable.
Code:Option Explicit 'API Calls Used To Remove The Title Bar From Window (Make A Sizeable Borderless Form) Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long Private Const GWL_STYLE = (-16) Private Const WS_DLGFRAME = &H400000 'API Calls Used To Move A Form With The Mouse Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long Private Const HTCAPTION = 2 Private Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = &HA1 Private Sub Form_Load() 'ERASE the Title Bar SetWindowLong Me.hwnd, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(Me.hwnd, GWL_STYLE) + WS_DLGFRAME End Sub Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) 'Move the form with the Left Mouse Button If Button = 1 Then Me.MousePointer = vbSizeAll Call ReleaseCapture Call SendMessage(hwnd, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0&) Me.MousePointer = vbArrow End If End Sub
Have Fun !!!!
