Is this possible, I have been able to modify paradox's menu's, but I cannot
figure out how to modify the forms menu.

I don't understand the question. The menu is the menu. If you know how to
replace the menu with your own it is the same wherever you do it.

I am talking about the control menu. The icon in the upper left corner of
the form. It has items such as "Restore", "Move", "Size", "Minimize",
"Maximize", "Close", etc.
This menu is different from the paradox main menu.
My question is, can you add or remove items from this menu?
I hope this clarifies my question.

Thanks
Dave

If you don't like a default window you should consider a dialog window
instead. If you change the Window style to dialog, you can remove the
control menu.

Thanks for the reply,
I do know about changing it to a dialog and it removes it, but I was
just wondering if you can add and remove to or from it.
Thanks

There are ways to manipulate it with WinAPI calls. There is info on this on
thedbcommunity.com I think it is mostly that you can remove it while
leaving the window a window instead of a dialog but i have not used it too
much.
