Well I'm not sure I'm following this exactly, but: There are some
attributes that you can't change after a window's been created, you have to
set them before creating the window. Now, when you're subclassing a VB
control you're changing the window procedure _after_ VB has created the
control - at this point it's too late to change the things that need to
be set before the window is created.
And I'm pretty sure that the border style is in the "set at create
time only" category. (To put it another way, I bet that your new window
procedure is simply never getting any WM_NCCREATE messages - they're long
gone.)
Not quite sure whether this answers the question...

Don't you guys find it tedious typing the same thing
after your signature each time you post something?
I know I do, but when in Rome...
