Borderless Form System Menu

[BrendanS]

Hi all,

How can a borderless form have it's system menu displayed when minimized in the taskbar?


Thank you for your time,

Brendan

Can you provide some clarification of exactly what it is you want to accomplish?

When form is minimized there isn't a point to the form being borderless so you can set any border and the menu will work.

    Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles Me.Resize
        If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
            Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle
        Else
            Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
        End If
    End Sub

Thank you for the responses.

TBryce311 - Excuse me if the question wasn't clear enough. I am using a borderless form so to have full control on it's appearance using various skins. In doing so, I have labels acting as Minimize and Close buttons. My problem was when the form is minimized, I could not close or restore the form via the form's system menu from the taskbar - as you can when a form's FormBorderStyle is set to FixedSingle etc.

JohnH - Thank you. A simple solution that completely flew over my head.
