Draders23, Thanks so much for the link:). I tried overriding the WndProc for the control and show my own customcontrol instead of regular dropdown. Thanks, VPMahank

You may have to handle WM_NCPAINT to do this since the border is not part of the client area. Deus caritas est

Not easily done. You can only achieve this by extending the groupbox class, and painting it yourself.

Yes, I totally understand. But if there are a bunch of controls in the form, lets say there are a few labels on the form, the visibility property of the panel has to be set on click event of each label. I cannot just handle it in the Click event of the form. I need to have a generic way of doing this. :confused: Thanks, VPMahank

My additional need was to have a splitter between controls that are not docked at all. So I need a control that behaves like a splitter but for undocked controls. Thanks, VPMahank

Sure. Place a ToolStripContainer on your form. Place a ToolStrip on the top. It will now be movable to whatever borders of the form you've chosen in the ToolStripContainer settings.

Hai ekynox, Thank you for the idea. I will try and see if that works for me. VPMahank.

Robert, Thanks for the link. I will definitely look into it. Madhavi
