Forms in C++ Builder 3 1

[Royt]

Is it possible to hide a form title bar in C++Builder 3?<br>
I want to use a form containing name and address fields from a database as the header in several other forms.<br>

Yes, you can but you must edit both your .h and .cpp code. In your header file (.h) you should see a section the says...<br>
<br>
private // User declarations<br>
<br>
Just below this add...<br>
void __fastcall CreateParams(TCreateParams &Params);<br>
<br>
Next you will need to edit your .cpp file. Go to the bottom of the file and add the following lines...<br>
void __fastcall TForm1::CreateParams(TCreateParams &Params)<br>
{<br>
TForm::CreateParams(Params); // base class<br>
Params.Style &= ~WS_CAPTION; // remove caption<br>
}<br>
<br>
BTW, this code came from the book &quot;Borland C++ Builder How-To: The Definitive C++ Builder Problem Solver&quot;by Miano, Cabanski, & Howe. It is set up in a How-to format. The above code came from the article entitled &quot;How do I make a splash screen?&quot; Recommended reading IMHO.<br>
