Your question is incomplete.Which technology are you targeting?Win forms or WPF?

Improved the question.

Interesting, pranav95 - How do you apply your psychic powers to deduce that what you changed the original question to is actually what the OP is asking?

Johnny J. 14-Jun-10 8:47am

Ah, I see - you edited the question to fit your answer - clever!

Anshul R 14-Jun-10 8:49am

Huh?

These are the only 2 possibilities. I have provided the solution for both and made the question wider and clearer.

Well, the OP is also asking something about the title bar, right? What do you think he means by that then seeing that you have decided to exclude it in your edit?
