Delphi borderless or flat tEdit

How can I get a borderless or flat tEdit? I've tried all combinations with BevelEdges, BevelInner, BevelOuter, BevelKind and nothing worked. Apparently this properties are ignored. When setting BorderStyle, the compiler doesn't accept bsSingle, neither bsNone. I've tried to override the default painting at WMPaint, but I can't reach the edges of the control. Thanks.

Simply set BorderStyle to bsNone.

Note that bsNone is part of the TFormBorderStyle enumerated type which is defined in the Forms unit. You likely have either defined a different bsNone, or used a unit that does so. Either way that has taken TFormBorderStyle.bsNone out of scope.

You can do one of the following to resolve:

  • Change the name of the bsNone that you defined.
  • Change the order of your uses clause so that Forms appears later than the other unit that defines a clashing bsNone.
  • Fully resolve the name of bsNone as TFormBorderStyle.bsNone.
