The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

vb.net 2005, How do I Remove MDI title bar from the form when my child window is maximized?

Zones:

.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags:

Dear Experts,

I am trying to write a nice looking application for work, hopefully to sell, but anyways- I'm trying to make it with a good design that looks and works good. I have no menubar, just a toolbar that is docked on the left side of my window. It's going to have icons for all my menu actions. The application uses a MDI window, and has a number of windows that may be used. This is why I wanted to use the MDI form. There are two screens which take all the space available to me, and they are meant to be shown just by themselves. One's a datagrid and the other is a single record view. So, what I need to do is take away the title bar that appears at the top of the form, which has the x and - and all in it, and when they're on those two forms, hide or remove that bar. The rest of the time the bar would be fine.

My other issue with the bar is my toolbar on the left is blue and the title bar keeps appearing as the system color (brown) instead of the professional (blue) and they clash horribly. This also is unacceptable. I have no idea how to set the color or access that title bar object programmatically. I do wonder if more could be done with it, if there was a way to access it.

Does anyone know how to do this? I've been searching on the internet for quite some time now without any luck, but I've seen samples for vb6 (which don't work for .net).

Thanks! ~Michael
