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!
