Custom FormBorderStyle

BTW : GUI means graphic user interface if u didnt know

u can use custom themes, or u can make ur own like i do

1. make a form

2. formborderstyle = none

3. make 4 pictureboxes, and 2 timers (a button for closing is optional)
#1 dock = top
#2 dock = bottom
#3 dock = left
#4 dock = right
timer1.interval = 1, enabled = false
timer2.interval = 2, enabled = true(only add this if your adding exit button)

4. double click form

declare mouse position and form position

Code:

 Dim loc As New Point(0, 0)
    Dim cur As New Point(0, 0)

5. add a private sub

Code:

Private Sub def()
        loc = Location
        cur = Cursor.Position
    End Sub

6. go back to design and go to picturebox1 and double click

add functions (mouseup and mousedown)

or just add this

Code:

Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown
        timer1.start()
        def()
        timer1.enabled = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseUp
        Timer1.Stop()
        def()
        timer1.enabled = False
    End Sub

after adding the picturebox.mouseup and mousedown, do this to the 3 other pictureboxes (optional)

7. go to timer1 and add this to make the form location move to mouse position

Code:

Location = loc - cur + Cursor.Position

8.Test and if working enjoy

Looks very ugly in my opinion. Id rather do a seperate theme to ensure the best quality.

if you cant find the right theme u can always come to this.

Dude its really ugly , For cool themes use DotNetBar.dll and use StyleManager

dotnetbar is ugly too

You dont need a timer for this, i use timers only in extreme cases

Just use mousedown & mousemove events.Here you have a example:
Under Public Class Form1

Code:

    Dim a, b As Integer
    Dim newPoint As New System.Drawing.Point()

Form1.MouseDown event:

Code:

        a = Control.MousePosition.X - Me.Location.X
        b = Control.MousePosition.Y - Me.Location.Y

Form1.MouseMove event:

Code:

        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            newPoint = Control.MousePosition
            newPoint.X = newPoint.X - a
            newPoint.Y = newPoint.Y - b
            Me.Location = newPoint
        End If

another way to do it

but it does the same thing pretty much

The easiest way i found is this

Code:

    Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown
        sender.Capture = False
        WndProc(Message.Create(MyBase.Handle, &HA1, 2, 0))
    End Sub

No timers or storing coordinates, just one mousedown event on the picturebox.
