Hello all

Does anyone know how to produce a windows form with no title bar that is
resizeable but also shows text on the taskbar button.

I can get what I need by creating the form, making the border sizeable,
removing the control box and removing anything from the 'Text' property.

Only problem then is that the button on the taskbar shows no text either,
just an icon and I need it to show text and the icon (as a normal form
would)

Thanks

keith
