All resizable controlling is just hit testing. Tie into the mouse down
event of your form and get the mouse coordinates. Check to make sure
that the mouse down is within some range of the border (5, maybe 10
pixels). Make sure that it's just a mouse down and not a click. Then,
resize the form as the mouse moves while the mouse button is down. This
lets you have the click and drag resizing.

Let me know if this helps.

You could fool Windows into thinking you're clicking on a border with some
interop. Search Google for the terms SendMessage and WM_NCLBUTTONDOW N and
should be plenty of hits on how to do it. A lot of them will be for moving a
window, but just swap out HTCAPTION for the value you need (see WM_NCHITTEST
on MSDN for alternate values).

Hi I'm currently developping a skinnable form by using a borderless form (Form.FormBorderStyle=None). Is it the right way to go in the first place? if it is. Assuming that when there is no border to the form there is no context menu when you right-click on your form in the start bar too (the one with Restore, Move, Size, Close et al.)... How can I make this context menu work again? Is there a way to tell the form to make it work even if...

Hi, I wasn't happy with the customisability of the standard Windows form, so I decided to implement my own. Basically what I did was extend a borderless form and add my own borders and caption bar to it so it looks and functions like a normal bordered sizable form. However the only thing I can't figure out is maximising. When I maximise my form, it fills up the whole screen and covers up the Windows taskbar. I can understand why you...

I have a borderless form in C#. The form has an icon specified in its properties and I also have the same icon specified for the project in the project properties. When I had a border on the form, the icon was displayed in the task bar. But when I set the border to None, the icon no longer displays. The taskbar button only shows the text name of my program. How can I get the icon to display in the taskbar for a borderless form? ...
