Borderless Application

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if Pad lock can copile exe file that has No border, or window title? or this is something I have to do with other programs?
I tried to use the following free applications:

WindowedBorderlessGaming_2.1.0.1
NoMoreBorder

The above applications work on a regular EXCEL FILE. But the compiled version still allows three dots on top of excel file which allows user to collapse the ribbon which reveal the fact that it's excel file.

I would like to use my excel file as a kiosk (touch screen) application. Thus, I need to have a clean, border free design

Sincerely
Elad770

Since I see now that the support team is trully responsive and incrediable I think I should post this update here.
This is a response to a previous ticket I opened with the support team. I got a reply which answers the above:


"Yes, you should be able to compile your workbook so that when users open the EXE file, it launches in full screen without displaying or allowing access to the ribbon.

There are two complementary approaches you can use:

a) Using XLS Padlock’s security options:

Enable the option “Disable all ribbons and toolbars” under All XLS Padlock Options > Security > Restrictions. This will hide all built-in ribbon tabs and most Office menu commands. This option works with Excel 2007 and later.
You can also disable the...

You can also disable the formula bar and other interface elements to maximize the full-screen effect.

b) Adding VBA code to enforce full screen on workbook open: Insert the following code in the Workbook_Open procedure inside ThisWorkbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"", False)"
End Sub

This code switches Excel to full screen (hiding title bars, taskbar, etc.) and explicitly hides the ribbon, although note that some user actions like pressing the Alt key might temporarily bring it back.

Thank you so much for responding to my ticket submission. I think I will use this forum from now on. It's more comfortable.

I'm refering to the window title bar that contains close or minimize, excel icon, and the bar itself.
I would like it to disappear ! and reappear when I want to
