I can’t seem to disable the ControlBox on a form that has the FormFrameSkinner object attached to it.

By the way click on the right edge of the form in the designer to gain access to form proeprties and not the ribbon properties.  Do not try clicking the top of the form in the designer it will only select the ribbon properties. :)

If you want to make the controlbox dissapear then you need to go to your form properties find ControlBox and make it false.  If you want to disable the minimizebox or maimizebox then make those false as well on the form. It works great with version 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 beta.

I have tested this and it doesn’t work.  Here is how to reproduce.



  1. Start a new Windows Forms project

  2. Set the ControlBox property to False

  3. Delete any text in the Text property

  4. The ControlBox will disappear

  5. Drag a FormFrameSkinner onto the form

  6. The ControlBox will reappear

The issue may be moot.  I am starting to think there is no point in using the FormFrameSkinner on a form with no ControlBox.
