Remove Window Border Completely

Is there anyway to completely remove a Window object's border If I set the Window.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None, there is still a "border" around the window which is rather annoying.

Thank you,

Jaco

Remove Window Border Completely

  • angrycoder2

    I am having another issue with all this. I am making a custom-draw window in which I manage all the border drawing and window resizing, etc.

    So to achieve removing the "standard" window border, I set WindowStyle.None. This of course leaves a bevelled border in XP. It seems that setting either AllowsTransparency=True or ResizeMode=NoResize will get rid of that bevelled border.

    Now here is the problem... I can't set AllowsTransparency to true because that prevents Windows Forms controls from being visible in the Window (see this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=572863&SiteID=1). I can't set ResizeMode=NoResize either because if you do that then right clicking on the taskbar will not give you Maximize/Minimize/etc. options, which I do still need since my window is resizable (via my own handling).

    Anyone have any idea how to get rid of that border without using either AllowsTransparency or ResizeMode

    Thanks,

    You can set ResizeMode to NoResize and that should get rid of the border.

    It might be a Windows XP issue. I don't have a Vista machine to check but both CanResizeWithGrip, and CanResize have the same result in XP and I see no grip. However, there is a CanMinimize so you can at least enable that Bill. Why there isn't another enum option for CanMaximize I have no idea.
