Leaders snarfblam Posted December 15, 2003 Leaders Posted December 15, 2003 I found myself curious all of a sudden about windowless controls. Does VS.NET support any kind of windowless controls as vb6 does? and do windowless controls (i.e. lightweight controls) use any signifigant amount less resources. Many programs (specifically internet explorer) do not use windows for the controls. They are all windowless. Kazaa has radio buttons which have no windows, but are still drawn with windows xp styles. With vb.net thought, all of my controls have a window, and I cant find any relevant properties to change this. Quote [sIGPIC]e[/sIGPIC]

*Gurus* divil Posted December 19, 2003 *Gurus* Posted December 19, 2003 Nothing I'd call significant, no. It does seem a shame to have every label etc using its own hWnd, but these days there are hundreds of window handles around already on the average desktop anyway.
