Okay..by the title this sounds really really simple..but here's the problem:

I can't get rid of my form's caption bar EVEN IF I set the form's border to 0. The only way I can get rid of it is to delete the caption's text. However I've gotten some complaints from the users of my program and they seem to want the form's caption on their start bar(since if it's not on the form, it won't appear on the start bar...this is where my problem lies..). I've tried several methods of getting rid of the title bar but none of them seem to let me keep the actual caption..

Hopefully I've made enough sense @_@...anyway, thanks in advance for any assistance..

You can use the SetWindowText API to set the text in the caption and it won't show the caption bar :

[vb:1:59e3726c0d]Option Explicit

Private Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
SetWindowText Me.hwnd, "Test"
End Sub
[/vb:1:59e3726c0d]

And welcome to the board ^_^
