.Net WinForms - Remove Close, Resize and Minimize Button

Question

My application layout is defined with a top menu and a content area below.

In the content area I use to load the action form in a panel by adding them as a control.

First question is: is it ok as approach?

Second question: Now the forms are loaded in the content panel with Maximize, Resize and Minimize Button. How can I remove them?

Thanks

First question is: Subjective. Second question: Really unclear. Please clarify your questions with some screenshots if possible. Thanks. — Sriram Sakthivel, Sep 30 '14 at 15:46
Change your form's border style to none. Those "forms" should probably be UserControls. — LarsTech, Sep 30 '14 at 15:48

Set your Form ControlBox property to False.

See: Form.ControlBox Property

To set it in the designer, go to form properties and set ControlBox to false.

This is how it would look after that:

For your first question:

is it ok as approach?

That depends on your requirement. As long as you have provided your user a way to exit from the application and it is easily accessible, it should be fine, IMO.
