dotnet windows forms: Simply change the form's border property to none.


[quoted text, click to view]

Hi Carlos,

You can remove the WS_CAPTION window style from the Form1 to get what you
want. To do this, override the CreateParams property of the Form1 and
remove the WS_CAPTION window style from the original window style.

The following is a sample:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
int WS_CAPTION = 0xc00000;
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.Style &= ~WS_CAPTION;
return cp;
}
}
}

Run the application and you should see the Form1 has no caption now but a
thick border, so you can still resize the Form1 by dragging the form
borders using the mouse.

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Hi Linda, thanks very much for your replays wich I shall see later, but for
me your replay seems very good, because Scotts way doesnt permit me to move
the form, so your way it seems I shall have no need to modify any Mouse
events. Sorry Im not a professional developer, so I have to read about
properties, etc. Final comment, it seemed to me good to know the answer to
this question, because to create a new Control/UserControl should have
important diferences, and for me it wasnt any easy to guess that Border
should have something to do with the titlebar, so, Scott, thanks to you
too!.

Carlos.

Hi Linda,

I ve just tested your solution,
the form can be resized but cant be translated, I know how to implement
MouseDown, MouseMoveEvents to translate the form, and similar things,
but I suppose it could be interesting if the form could be translated by
other
simpler ways.

best regards, Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

Thank you for your reply!

[quoted text, click to view]

By "can't be translated", do you mean the form can not be moved? If so,
you're right. Only when a form has a caption, we can move the form by
dragging the form's caption with Mouse.

As you have mentioned, the workaround is to handle the MouseDown and
MouseMove event of the form. IMO, there's no simpler way to do it.

Hope this helps.
If you have any other question, please feel free to let me know.

Hi Linda,

Please one more doubt, Im not professional developer
what means in your code

cp.Style &= ~WS_CAPTION;

wich I undestand as being something like

cp.Style = ~WS_CAPTION & cp.Style ;

wich I cant understand either.
Ok, thanks very much for all Linda, best regards, Carlos.


[quoted text, click to view]

Hi Carlos,

Thank you for your reply!

Yes, you're right. The line of code "cp.Style &= ~WS_CAPTION;" equals to
"cp.Style = ~WS_CAPTION & cp.Style ;"

The CreateParams.Style property gets or sets a bitwise combination of
window style values. With the above line of code, we remove the WS_CAPTION
style from the original windows style values to remove the caption from the
Form.

For more information about CreateParams class, please refer to the
following MSDN document:

If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

thanks Linda for all, I liked your answers very much, since I have to worry
only to move the mouse
and not to resize it.

Some final comment for basic-intermediate csharp users like me,
I concluded cp.Style is a binary number, so you can operate it with & ||
commands,
with other binary numbers, obtaining the desired Form´s style, I suppose I
must verify
this by my own. I have no more problems by now, since I know how
to implement the methods to move the form.

greetings, Carlos.
