Hi

If you have a form where the FormBorderStyle=Sizable and no icon is assigned
to the form; you get the WindowsForms 'generic' icon.

Is there a way to remove the 'generic' icon and have no icon displayed?

I tried setting the Icon property to Null in code but this didn't have any
effect.

Set the ControlBox property to FALSE.

Hello Craig,

Have you tried making a completely transparent icon and assigning it to the
Form?

Hi Carlos

You know I thought about doing that but dismissed it as a hack work-around.
I would have thought setting the Icon=null would have done the trick.

Hello Craig,

I can't think of any other way. Take into account that that icon represents
the form's ControlBox, so I don't think it has a quick and dirty way of making
it invisible. I'd go for the hack =)

Set the ShowIcon property to false.

Good luck with your project,

This will cause an indented caption if a caption is specified.
