- POPUP STYLE
- Posted by D on January 27th, 2004
Is there a way to have a popup (or any style) window that
1.does not have a sizing menu or sizing capability.
2.does not cover the entire screen but allows the task bar to show.
?

if there is no way to do such with a POPUP style then
is there a way to fetch the height of the tastbar so I can
size the Popup accordingly ?

WS_POPUP windows don't have sizing menu or sizing capability. There
are other window styles which have frames but disallow resizing (e.g.
dialog windows) but I forget their style names. Also, even for a
resizable window style, if you override WM_GETMINMAXINFO, you can
prevent it from being resized.
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA) will give you a rectangle for
the entire screen minus taskbar.

The WS_THICKFRAME style determines whether a window can be resized. So
you could override any implied WS_THICKFRAME by adding &
~WS_THICKFRAME. This would be slightly nicer than overriding
WM_GETMINMAXINFO, because the user wouldn't see anything (thick frame,
resizing arrows) suggesting the window _is_ resizeable. I've had mixed
results trying to change this style after a window is created.

[re: WS_THICKFRAME]
Did you call SetWindowPos(...,SWP_FRAMECHANGED) after changing the
border style?

The WS_THICKFRAME style determines whether a window
can be resized. .....................WM_GETMINMAXINFO
---Thanks ..but are these new styles ? I'm using VC 6.0 Pro
and there is no such styles in the help search or browse include
define.

I found it by searching "styles" .
First under index the "WS_THICKFRAME" didn't
find anything which was somewhat perplexing.

No.
WS_... is a window style, WS_THICKFRAME has "always" been there,
except perhaps only known as WS_SIZEBOX in Windows 2.x. The latter
name should be regarded as deprecated.
WM_... is a window message.
That's incorrect. But if you haven't installed MSDN then look at

I don't think I did. I just looked at the function I wrote to hide the
details. I see a comment referencing a 1999 newsgroup post about
SWP_FRAMECHANGED, but no evidence I tried it. Not a priority for me,
but thanks for the reminder, and for making sure other folks know
about it.
