The border in the first picture is just a normal border like most windows have, but because the listview control has a border too, very close to the parent window border, it looks like a very big border. The second window has no border at all, the border is custom drawn. The window only has the WS_POPUP style (iirc). On Iczelion's site I think there is an example of custom drawn windows. Thomas P.S. why would MASM not be able to do the same things as TASM? This message was edited by Thomas, on 5/20/2001 3:13:04 PM

You might want to try this linker option: /subsystem:windows,3.1 Under Win9x, this changes the appearance of some windows.

If you still have that source I sent you for the Unprexistence GUI that used a borderless windows.If you remove all the drawing commands and run it all you'll get is a black box, perfect to start from scratch with.

Heres some new code striped down to the basics. Sorry I couldn't upload it but its not too long. Just copy and paste. Note all the code inside the WM_MOUSEMOVE and WM_LBUTTONDOWM messages allows for moving and resizing the window. Also note the WS_BORDER or WS_POPUP styles in the CreatWindowEx proc, their the only styles you need for the type of border you want, but then you'll need the control window movement as I've done here.
