Windows Form Caption

Hi

I have a form which is the main form of the project.
It has no controlbox, and the formborder is set to fixedsingle.
The text property is set to blank so that the title bar of th form does not appear - however this alos means that the taskbar icon for the project is blank - is there anyway of getting text to appear on the taskbar icon for the project without the titlebar of the form appearing?

Cheers

Could you have a FormBorderStyle of None and then set Me.Caption = "Title Bar".

You won't get the nice 3D look or whatever, but it works!

Hi. I have a popup modal form which gets part of its caption from code. The part of the caption which is determined from code is the name of the event. For example the caption would be "Add Year for ", where event name is the name of the event for which the user wants to add a year. The event names are all different lengths and sometimes when the form pops up the caption is truncated with the ellpsis(...) Is there a way to determine how...

The fields are about 3" wide. Then I'd like to have a command button that when pushed it would expand the form to about 9" displaying the subform along with the input fields. The command button could then be pressed again to shrink the...

I have a MDI form open and two child forms open in it. Each of the children contains a usercontrol which contains a richtextbox. The topmost form's caption bar is highlighted but I click on the other form's usercontrol, which is partially showing. (I don't click the caption bar, if I did it would become highlighted, but clicking the usercontrol does not highlight the caption bar.)
