Form Titke Bar

[jamiecalvert]

Is there any way the title bar of a form can be set to different colours. My command keys to certain forms are colour coded and I would like the title bar to have the same colour?

Thank you.

I can't tell you specifically how to do this but I can tell you what to look for. Access does not expose this property but Windows does. You need to search (probably not this site) for controlling the title bar with the Windows API. Maybe some other member has found a good site that they can direct you to.

I don't know how to change the color of a form's titile bar.

But you can remove the title bar with an API call. The "Access Developer's Handbook" contains an example.

Once you have removed the title bar, you can then add a form header and set the color to your preference.

Oops, excuse me. That's "colour".

You could just set the border to none and remove the need for an API. And of course "Colour" doesn't compute in Access, it has to be color

I guess that's why I used to have so much trouble doing the International London Time's crossword puzzle when I was working in Kuwait

there is an api here:

i experimented with it some time ago (for a really deranged client)...

it works (w95 w98), but it's global to all forms, and slooooooowww.

sometimes it's better to tell a client 'it can't be done'.
