Dialog with no TitleBar: is it possible?Is it possible to have a form with no titlebar (caption) that shows as a
dialog? When I create form with no titlebar and call its ShowDialog method, it shows up briefly closes immediately. I couldn't find any documentation onthis behavior and didn't find any constraint concerning the fact a form needs a titlebar to be useable as a dialog. Can anybody shed some light on this? Tia. Roland How exactly are you creating the form without a title bar? I couldn't
reproduce the problem. -sb Show quote "Roland" <roland.demees***@skynet.be> wrote in message news:u7xfVNgZGHA.1352@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Is it possible to have a form with no titlebar (caption) that shows as a > dialog? > When I create form with no titlebar and call its ShowDialog method, it > shows up briefly closes immediately.

..text = "" ..controlbox = False that's all. Then instantiate it and call its method ShowDialog When you do this with text="" and text="anything else", you'll have a totally different behaviour.

the framework. To be clear, I created a secondary form with .Text = "" and ..ControlBox = false. From my main form I simply created the secondary form and called ShowDialog(). -sb Show quote "Roland" <roland.demees***@skynet.be> wrote in message news:%23hBF9ZiZGHA.504@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > to have a form without a titlebar, create a form and set > .text = "" > .controlbox = False > that's all. > > Then instantiate it and call its method ShowDialog > When you do this with text="" and text="anything else", you'll have a > totally different behaviour. > Roland > > "sb" <stormfi***@yahoo.com> wrote in message > news:ufurW0gZGHA.5004@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> How exactly are you creating the form without a title bar?

explanation, I stumbled on a message thread wherein somebody was reporting the fact that it worked well in version 1.0 of the framework but didn't anymore in 1.1. However, as far as I know, this has never been reported or acknowledged as a bug (which I consider it to be).
