Dear All :

Kindly enlighten me to display Form without FOX ICON.

Sample Form is displayed for reference.

Thanks in advance and happy programming.

Smarty,

Can you live with

THISFORM.ControlBox = .F.

set the form's icon property to an alternative icon '.ico' file.

Dear Andy :

This form looks dull now without the cross.

I want to keep the cross without that icon.

Benman,
Take an icon editor. Make an icon all blue, same color as your header. Then in the form's icon property, list <myblueicon>.ico as the icon file for your form. Set the Controlbox property back to .T.



Best Regards,
Scott

OK, good luck in your quest.

I think the color of the title bar is under the control of the user - not necessarily your blue.

To find the colour of the title bar:

DECLARE integer GetSysColor IN WIN32API integer
GetSysColor(2)

See also thread1254-1246425

But there's a snag. The colour of the title bar changes, depending on whether the form is active or not. You would have to create two icons, and switch between them in the form's Activate and Deactivate.

Hi Benman,

Just replace the icon with an invisible icon. Here, I've made you one...

The only drawback is the obvious space to the left of the form's caption. But, at least with this you won't have to determine the titlebar color and gradient etc.
