Question Please, I need some help removing a Control Box in MDI App
permalink
Hello Young Coders, I am sure you can help me with this little issue that I have.


I have created a new MDI Form... and then a mdi child form... BUT an annoying control Box appears and I dont want it.

I have disabled the in the mdi child: ControlBox property, Minimize Box, Maximizebox, showIcon, etc...


I have attached a picture showing the infamous controlbox.


thanks for your help.

Could you post the image again at all? Seems to be, well, not there.

If I could see the image I would surely do what I can to help, but since you said you have set the certain properties I just cant picture it.

I dont think the uploading problem would be solved anywhere soon, try using ImageShack.

Do you want to completely get rid of the title bar? I am sure we would be more helpful when the image is available.

What do you mean by "Control Box"?

As far as I can figure out he wants a MDI form to appear like a normal form does without the Control Box (close, minimise, maximise).

I don't think Windows will let you do that. In my experience, the MDI Child properties are always overridden. I don't know why.

I too think Vista may be right here however there may be a way of doing it by customising the MDIParent control.

Im a little busy at the moment but when im free il have a go at it and see.
