Changing Form Title Bar Color

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

A user asked if there was a way to programmatically change the color of the form's title bar. The short answer to this is no. The color of the title bar is controlled by the user in the Control Panel, which means you don't have access to it within Visual Basic. There are several books available that can teach you how to manipulate the Control Panel, but this is not a simple task. Dan Appleman's VB API book has some of this information, as do several books from Wrox Press that cover the Windows API.
