Window Style (Max/Min buttons)
[size=9]

INVOKE 	CreateWindowEx,NULL,ADDR ClassName,ADDR AppName,\

	WS_CAPTION+WS_MAXIMIZEBOX+WS_MINIMIZEBOX+WS_THICKFRAME+WS_BORDER,\

           	CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,258,350,NULL,NULL,\

           	hInst,NULL

[/size]


I want a window without the top-left system menu and with three buttons at the top-right. After i the window is created, there is no maximize/minmize box in the caption, but i specify the corrosponding style.

What am i doing wrong?

If your window doesn't have the system menu it can't own min/max buttons, unless WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW bit is set.

But WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW will make the caption bar thinner - will it be good?

baZik, there is no system button(s) at the top-right of the caption.

However the window will not appear on the taskbar, as it's toolwindow. But that's the only way it's possible - no system menu, but min/max buttons.

P.S. the WS_CAPTION includes WS_BORDER; you don't have to write WS_BORDER again.

No offence but,
create your own. It's a easy task to do.
