 Title Bar
 
 ■ A title bar is the horizontal bar at the top of a window that shows the
   name of the application, document, or file. For example:
 
         Title Bar ────────┐
             ┌───┬────┬────┼────┬────┬───┐
             ▼   ▼    ▼    ▼    ▼    ▼   ▼
         ┌│■│          MYDOC.DOC          │▼││↕│┐
         │                                      ↑
         │                                      ░
         │                                      ░
         │                                      ↓
         │                                      ─
         └←░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░→│
 
 ■ At design time, the title bar displays the value of the Caption property.
   See: ◄Caption Property►
 
 ■ No title bar is present on a form if either:
   • The Caption property is set to an empty string ("") and ControlBox,
     MaxButton, and MinButton are set to False (0)
   • The BorderStyle property is set to 0 (None)
   See: ◄BorderStyle Property►  ◄Caption Property►    ◄ControlBox Property►
        ◄MaxButton Property►    ◄MinButton Property►
 
 ■ If a title bar is not present on a form, the form cannot be moved at run
   time.
 
 ■ A caption that is too long for the title bar of a form or control is
   clipped on the right.
