How does Chrome implement its tabs?

I am working on a small application, which I can do in either WinForms or WPF. I'd like to replicate the tab control a la Chrome. However, I am not sure how to get the开发者_运维技巧 tabs into the window border like Chrome does.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Set the FormBorderStyle (WinForms) or WindowStyle (WPF) to None, then draw your own titlebar with tabs on it.

To get glass, you need to use the DWM API.

Alternatively, you can handle the WM_NCPAINT message.

Create a window without borders and draw your own border-like tabs.

Chrome does not have window style, the buttons are also not standard, that why this look like a tab in window border.

System.Windows.Forms.Form form = ...

form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
