Windows like window look

I am looking on the internet for two days to create a form with the extended titlebar (to have the left, right and an search-bar) and the sidebar. I extracted 3 background images from shell32.dll that are used in the sidebar.

I'd like to know if I could namespace some shell objects or is there a solution. I really would like to see this happening.

Thank you.

  • Code Project, non-client area. I know it's not VB, but maybe enough to glean what you need.
