There are two alternatives to Heath's reply, but his suggestion is the best. Alternative 1: Show absolutely none of the border area (there are properties in Windows Forms that you can use to hide them). Then, draw all the content you want on your own, putting normal buttons wherever you want them. The problem is that you must handle "hit testing" in order to let the user drag or resize the window, since Windows no longer does that work for you. There are several places to find information about that. Look to handle the WM_NCHITTEST message. Alternative 2: Create a separate form that floats over your main window. It would contain only the button(s) that you desire, with no border or spacing. Once that window is created, you can manually position it to sit wherever you like. The problem is that the window is free-floating, so you need to reposition it every time your main form is moved or resized. This is the ugliest solution, since the users can see this button lagging while the rest of the window moves nicely. John
