Maximised window
« Thread started on: Oct 12th, 2014, 11:24am » |

Hi,
I'm trying to permanently and immovably fix the window to its maximum size. The code,
SYS "ShowWindow", @hwnd%, SW_MAXIMIZE
SYS "GetWindowLong", @hwnd%, GWL_STYLE TO ws%
SYS "SetWindowLong", @hwnd%, GWL_STYLE, ws% AND NOT WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
sets up the size and removes the maximise button, but I can still reduce it by double-clicking on the title bar. Is there a way to stop this ability, but still be able to minimise if necessary? I've searched all the window styles, but none of them seem to be applicable.
Matt

Did you try Google? A quick search gave several hits stating that the only way is to suppress the WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK message:
Code: INSTALL @lib$+"SUBCLASS"
PROC_subclass(WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK, FNdummy())
DEF FNdummy(M%,W%,L%) = FALSE
SYS "ShowWindow", @hwnd%, SW_MAXIMIZE
SYS "GetWindowLong", @hwnd%, GWL_STYLE TO ws%
SYS "SetWindowLong", @hwnd%, GWL_STYLE, ws% AND NOT WS_MAXIMIZEBOX
REPEAT
WAIT 1
UNTIL FALSE
You could probably argue that being able to double-click on the title bar even when the maximize box is disabled is a bug in Windows, but of course they can't change the behaviour now.
Richard.

The code you supplied works fine in my program, thank you. Until I get time to examine the principals within it more closely, I will use the appropriate lines 'as is'.
Thanks again.
