Create custom chrome for a windows form in vb.net using Visual Basic 2008 express


How do you create custom chrome for a windows form in vb.net using Visual Basic 2008 express? I want to basically scrap what they give and start fresh, is there any way to do so easily?


Solution

  • I figured it out eventually. In the properties window with the form itself chosen, FormBorderStyle from "Sizable" to "None" will remove all built in chrome, therefore leaving me to go make my own. Resizability and moving may be a bit tough as I will have to code that myself, but this is an easy way to strip the chrome.
