[Sam Marrocco]

Is it possible to place controls such as a checkbox or button in the
titlebar of a form?

No.

However, you may CustomDraw the TitleBar and Draw a control in the TitleBar.
I did this in VB6, but have not tried it in DotNet. It was a Lot of work.

Another alternative is to remove the Titlebar from your form and draw a Fake
TitleBar in your forms ClientArea. One problem you'll encounter here is
MenuBar position. Docked Toolbars can be overcome simply by docking a Panel
to the Top of your form and drawing the Titlebar in that, Toolbars can then
Dock to the Panel. There is still a fair amount of work involved in this
Method, since you'll have to handle the Form movement and System Menu popup
from the Fake Titelbar.

You may translate this VB6 implementation:
