Hello everybody,

I am working on a app for Windows XP. I want to put a button in the caption bar.

I know there is no DWM on Windows XP, but there are some caption bar simulation controls, like gTitleBar ( gTitleBar - Custom TitleBar for Borderless Forms (VB.NET)[^] ). I tried it and it works really fine, but it is to slow for me.

Are there any controls like these available?

Thanks in advance.

Paul.

ps. I'm Dutch, my English isn't very good.

I like the second option, but i don't understand how it works.

Can you perhaps explain me?
