NC Paint (non client painting)

[Hmmm]

Hi,


Is it possible to override Non client area painting on
WinForms, I need to customise the MDI child icon group,
ie., remove the bar completely when maximised.

Is this possible?

Or shall I handle NC PAINT in WndProc override?

Thanks

when a mdi child is maximised the icons will NOT be
painted in the wm_ncpaint of the form.
the icons will be a part of the MDI Parents menu.

so you will have to do some serious menu interopping in
order to do this.

Thats a bit shity aint it, so there isnt a clean way to do
this? Then we use overlay forms or put them in panels.
Seems a cleaner solution without spaghetti code
