MdiClient border style

[Nathan Alden]

I have a desperate need to either change the border style of the MDI client window on a form to none (lack of WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE create param), or somehow redraw the non-client area to make it appear as though there is no border.

Is there *any* workaround for this? It would've been nice if MdiClient wasn't sealed. I have no idea why MS does things such as that...talk about removing flexibility...

border.

What's the problem with setting the MDI container's 'FormBorderStyle' to
'None'? Seems to work fine for me.
