Hi all,

Suppose I create a normal window, and in it's clientarea I create a MDI window.
Is it possible to get rid of the Sysmenu on the MDI Window.
I tried and tried, but couldn't get rid of it.

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Friendly regards,
mdevries.

I haven't used it but suspect this is where to start:

using the API DeleteMenu

Hi Drarem,

Thanks for your reply.
Ik have looked at DeleteMenu in the link you provided. But it handles the normal menu structure. Not the SysMenu: that is the Close- , Minimize- and Maximize buttons. So my question remains the same.

Friendly regards,

this works for me:



invoke CreateWindowEx,WS_EX_LEFT,
ADDR ClassName2,
ADDR tChild2,
NULL,
50,50,640,300,
hWnd,NULL,
hInstance,NULL


The child window defaults with a caption only. There are other settings also (windows styles or ex styles) you can use to change appearance of.

Well yes, you can also try this..

Sorry that it's in C but it should be easy enough to convert it. Basically you get the Window long and bitwise AND the styles you don't want out of it.



style = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE);
style = style & (~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) & (~WS_THICKFRAME);
style = style | WS_BORDER;
SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE, style);
/* We should repaint here perhaps, so that the Window long gets set. */
UpdateWindow(hwnd);
