Have a look at createparams (Delphi) and ws_border (Win API -
CreateWindow)

Maybe, I'm an oldtimer, but i'm always looking for a piece of stable
software, easy to use and not wasteful with my scarce resources.
I never thought of being close to heaven when facing an edit window
without a frame to indicate that fact. We are using MS Windows, arent't
we?

But anyway, I think it is possible to drop or hide the window frame.

Good luck.

Hi All,

I just wondered : How to create my own edit field - without the box
around it ... Anyone has a clue ? We can create cool edit field -
colored - and without the box around them, cool isnt it ?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Eddie, Indonesia.

Thank you, I'm getting very tired myself from all the push to add one
more whizbang widget into the interface (the latest and most appalling
to me being the Internet Explorer style "Coolbar" buttons).

It seems like the focus has shifted from "feature-itis" in programs
toward adding new interface gimmicks as the way to get your software
noticed.  At least creeping feature-itis gave the illusion that it was
adding something USEFUL to the program, new widgets are (for the most
part, IMHO) just visual fluff.
