Solution 1

Without knowing quite a bit more about exactly what you mean, it's difficult to tell, but have you looked at the Form.FormBorderStyle[^] property? It has options for Fixed Single, Fixed Tool Window and None[^] which may do what you want.

Solution 2

You can intercept the WM_NCPAINT message and draw your borders transparent. This will give you a transparent borders. Alternately, you can use WS_BORDER window style which will give you a thin-line border. Please refer to Window Styles (Windows)[^].

If you do that, then the screen will get corrupted as the system won't repaint that area which might be part of the application being moved.
As far as I know, there are style for border even at the Win32 API level.
