Create a System-tray styled box in Winforms (C#)

Question

I\'ve been hunting about for some resources on this, and I can\'t find any, so I\'ll bring in here.

I want to make a window similar in style to the quick launch box

Answer 1

It's quite simple. Create a new form, and set ControlBox, MaximizeBox, and MinimizeBox properties to false. Set the Title property to an empty string. This will effectively eliminate the the nonclient title bar area, giving you this:

The the interior section (like with "Customize") can be duplicated with a properly sized Panel and Link.
