Hello,
Is there any workaround to change the form's BorderStyle property
before the form is loaded?
I need to change it from None to Fixed Single depending on user's
preferences.
That form is not the main form of the project.
Your thoughts appreciated,
Claire

Technically, not before it's loaded, but you can change it during the
Form_Load event using the techniques demonstrated here:

Don't know if you actually do mean "before the form is loaded". You can
change its BorderStyle after it loads, or as it loads:

Dim oldStyle As Long
oldStyle = GetWindowLong(Form2.hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
SetWindowLong Form2.hwnd, GWL_STYLE, oldStyle _
And Not WS_THICKFRAME
SetWindowPos Form2.hwnd, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, _
SWP_FRAMECHANGED Or SWP_NOMOVE Or _
SWP_NOZORDER Or SWP_NOSIZE
Form2.Show
