.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / July 2007Customize Title Bar
Does any body knows how can I customize winform's title bar to add some controls. For example, I need to add a text box and a button. Thanks. Winforms do not support that. The close thing you could do is go borderless on the form and make up your own minimize, maximize, and close buttons.

I went throught all those posts/examples, most of them are talking about paint the title bar programmatcially. It is easier for a button, but how about a text box or richedit box, how can such control takes users input of text? Thanks. Hi Bob, Can I paint a textbox or richedit box and still allow user to type in? Thanks.
