Your choices are:

1. Disable the tooltips altogether, so that no tooltips appear on the title bar buttons: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/186385;
2. Make the form borderless and use Windows Forms controls to simulate a title bar: http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/VB.NET/Fo...Visual-Basic/; or,
3. Capture Windows messages and custom draw the title bar with your own buttons: http://geekswithblogs.net/kobush/art...rderForms.aspx

Wouldn't it be simpler to just instruct users to set their Windows culture to the desired languge?

I do not wish to create a bolderless form which it will give me alot of work to do. However is it possible to rename the tooltip texts on the box on the top right corner??



Something would have to be looks like this...

Me.MaximizeBox.Text = "Tester"
Me.MinimizeBox.Text = "123"

I hope that it possible to rename the tooltip text on each box.

Thanks,

No, I don't believe that is possible. As far as I know, the options I outlined in my previous post are the only choices available to you.

Ok thanks for your advise, how about removing the boxes and create the new buttons to place them on the titlebar??

That's option 3 in my original reply.
