Borderless form

[Jack B. Pollack]

I'm trying to create a borderless and caption bar less form. It is so easy
in VB6.
Any easy way to do it without API's in VBA (Outlook 2k3)?

If the form is for use in Outlook, you should post to the
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms newsgroup. I have cross posted this
response to that newsgroup so someone there may jump in with a response.

VBA user forms work the same in Outlook as they do in Word. In the
Properties page for the form, you can set the BorderStyle to
fmBorderStyleNone, but I see no difference between such a form and one with
BorderStyle = vbBorderStyleSingle.

I forgot to mention that I DID try that and I saw no difference either.

Exactly. VBA isn't VB6 and doesn't appear to support what you want to do.

OK. Thanks
Any idea what the property BorderStyle does (in VBA)?

 

[Doug Robbins - Word MVP]

It determines whether the form has a border (fmBorderStyleSingle) or does
not (fmBorderStyleNone). The difference is more obvious if you change the
BorderColor to something like Red.

PS. I do not know what you call the thing outside the border.
