Hello All,

I am developing a small application in vb.net.

I set the property of the border style to the none and created custom title bar.
Now I am not getting taskbar properties. This means in task bar when I right click the mouse button am not getting close, maximize, minimize restore options.

How can I do that? Through coding or setting properties of the form?

Thanks in Advance.

you need to try:

VB

Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer,
ByVal bRevert As Boolean) As Integer
Private Declare Function AppendMenu Lib "user32" Alias "AppendMenuA"
(ByVal hMenu As Integer, ByVal wFlags As Integer, ByVal wIDNewItem As
Integer, ByVal lpNewItem As String) As Integer

VB

Dim hSysMenu As Integer
hSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(Me.Handle.ToInt32, False)

'appends new menu items
AppendMenu(hSysMenu, 0, 1000, "Tray Me")
