Dear all,

Anyone know how to create windowless application without 3rd party controls?

I want the application look like ICQ, MSN, etc. No window but custom min,
close button.

Thanks

Best Regards,

Felix

Great thanks Cor.

I have tried your code and it works perfectly. I start modifing the code to
fit my situation, but not quite get how to remove the drawing part and
replace my form "attachment sample"....

Hope you could give me some hints if you have time.

Many thanks

Felix
