General VB Question

How can I, instead of using a sizable window, make it have no border, simply minimize, maximize, and close, as well as a drag-type tool bar. If you don't understand, just ask...Any help appreciated.

 

You want to either add a canvas, and draw on to that, or draw on to the form. Add an event handler to detect clicks on the canvas, which in turn allow the user to drag and move the form.

For the buttons, simply create a picturebox or something, and use their Click() event handlers to manage what they do.

If theres one thing I hate, its direct giving out of source so people won't learn - I prefer to tell them what to do (which is usually blatantly obvious) and let them sort out the issue.

 

You can remove the border using the formborderstyle property in your forms properties.

As Swan said for the draggable part of the form you make a picturebox on the top of your form then you can use the Mousemove sub for the picturebox to tell when you want to drag it.
