menu in a borderless form 1

[MrsKensington]

I have a borderless form that just has a label in it and is always the size of the label. I want to add a right click menu to it to close the program , stop it from being on top and other settings.
Whenever i add a menu (i set the parent menu item to visible = false, and all its children to visible = true) it adds a title bar an control box to my form (which i don't want!!)
How can I make a menu for my form without having the title bar?

Thanks alot

Irritating, isn't it?

There are at least two ways of dealing with this.

The first, which isn't ideal as it leaves a thin outline around the form, is to clear the Caption, and to set the ControlBox property to false.

The second method, which is the one I tend to use, is to have a second (invisible) form acting as the host for all your popup menus, and then invoke them in any other form you like; popup menus don't care...

Thanks!
I've managed to make it look the same as it originally did using the caption = "" and controlBox = false way. I positioned the label at left = -10 and top = -10 and it looked exactly the same!
