Hi


I want to create a Form that don't have an icon in title (as it is for
ControlBox = false) but with close, minimize and maximize buttons. Even this
seems trivial to me I coudn't do-it.
(Setting form.Icon property to null was what I expected but don't woked. )

I'm using VStudio 2003 (7.1)

I would believe the most simplest of solutions would be to make a blank icon
and set that as the icon of the form. You can do this very easily using
VS.net or another app such as IconWorkshop (Shareware)

Click to expand...

Set the form's 'FormBorderStyle' property to 'FixedDialog' and its
'ShowInTaskbar' property to 'False'. Then set the 'Icon' property to
'Nothing' at runtime (for example, in the form's 'Load' event handler).

I forgot to mention that I also want the form to be resizable. (i.e. Open
File Dialog in Windows XP).
