Changing the Form's Border Color? Possible?

[Merkaba]

Hey, I'm practicing my design mode skills and got a killer looking form, but the stupid Window's Color Scheme makes it look like crap. I'd rather not change what I already like to compansate for a oversight by Microsoft. I know there has to be a work-around for changing that Blue or Silver or (YUCK) Olive Green border. I'm gonna try and figure it out, but if anyone already knows, it would save me some time.

Thanks,



Merk

Have a look at these two:

http://www.delphifaq.com/faq/delphi/windows_GUI/f446.shtml

http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx?PageID=2&ItemID=248&CategoryID=53

The first is in Delphi, but should be easy enough to convert to VB and shows a fully worked example. The second is in VB/C# but isn't as comprehensive.


Hope this helps.

earthandfire,

Thanks a bunch for the links. I'll check them out in a bit. Right now I'm trying to locate a good media player Active X Control for my solution. Have any ideas in that department?


Most Graciously Yours,



Merk
