You only needed a very slight modification of the CreateParams method.
\\\
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
Const WS_MINIMIZEBOX As Integer = &H20000
Const WS_MAXIMIZEBOX As Integer = &H10000
Const WS_SYSMENU As Integer = &H80000
cp.Style = cp.Style Or WS_MINIMIZEBOX Or _
WS_SYSMENU Or WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
Return cp
End Get
End Property

Here is my problem though... I want to keep the 3d border on, so the
FormBorderStyle cannot be turned off. To hide the header i have to turn
off
the controlbox property, which causes your code to show the system menu to
no
longer work. A good example of what im looking for is Microsoft Money
2005.
