Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to override the windows default color
for a form's title bar.  What I would like to do is replace it with a
color or my own choosing, no matter what the user's color scheme is.
Thanks for any and all help you can lend.

The 'Visual Basic Programmer's Journal' did an article on this a couple of
months ago.  I will be glad to send you the code once I get it typed in, but
you may be able to find it at http://www.vbpj.com.  The section was called
"Black Belt Programming".  Sorry I can't of more help, but I hope this gets you
started.

There was an article in a recent issue of VBPJ (the one before the latest, I
think) which told how to subclass a form to do whatever you want to the title
bar.  It was long and complicated and looked like a lot more trouble than you
want to go thru just to change the color.  Other than that, your best choice
may be to put up a form without a title bar and dummy your own using a label
or a picturebox.
