enter image description here

MDI form's close button cand be draw by System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.VisualStyleElement.Window.CloseButton.Normal but how to draw child form's close button as seen in the picture.

I have got a thing but it is not same as in image displayed. System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.VisualStyleElement.Window.MdiCloseButton.Normal

MdiCloseButton will provide the same thing.

What goal are you trying to achieve? – Munawar Jan 03 '13 at 07:53
i want to draw icon like in brown circle, an 'X' sign. – Haider Ali Wajihi Jan 03 '13 at 08:07
That icon is by default there for all mdi-child forms then why you need to draw it? – Munawar Jan 03 '13 at 08:09
i want to draw it explicitly on my customize control. Not on form – Haider Ali Wajihi Jan 03 '13 at 08:13
It is not drawn by a visual style renderer. Looks like an Office custom style. Painting an x like that is otherwise simple. – Hans Passant Jan 03 '13 at 08:27
then, how can i draw this ? – Haider Ali Wajihi Jan 03 '13 at 08:28
