    Captions on Forms

    I noticed that if I leave the caption in the properties of the form empty, it uses the form name in the title bar. If I Enter my own caption it uses that. I like to make a nice title on the top of the Form Design itself with the ability for size, color, background, etc. So I find it a bit ugly having the caption and then repeating it on the form.



    Is there a way to hide the title bar from the Form view?

    Thanks
    Sam

    If there isn't, you can try a single space in the caption property.

    Dialog still shows the bar. I will use the single space option.

    Thanks,
