Hiding Title Bar of a MDI Form

[Pavel]

HI everyone
I am new to the forum. I like to develop program in VB6. Now, I need to know if I can hide the title bar of my MDI form. I can hide title bar of other forms by simply assigning the control box value false.

Can anybody help me out!

Very sad to hear.

I don't understand VB is used for a long time and there are so many experts on this language. Then why they are not developing controls to do such works? (question to no one)

Thank you DK, for your reply

Dear Pavel,

VB is not a language for all purpose. So, don't put so much attention to it.
(my personal opinion).

You cannot normally hide title bar of a mdi form. What one can do I think is take any other form and make it work like a midi form. Use coding to make it act like a midi form.

To hide title bar of a normal form

1. Caption property empty.
2. Control box property false.

Then place all other vb or visual basic controls inside that form instead of a MDI form.

Nice idea. But I still don't support it much, casue, it's just a way to ignore the reality. What you think dude?

That's good but it is not hiding the title bar of a MDI form. The example shows how to hide and show title bar of a form with two buttons. That does not solve our main problem about MDI form. Is it?
