This question does not relate to OpenGL but hopefully one of you will answer it anyway. I''m using VC++ 6 and want the main window to have no titlebar (the thingy with the icon, the Title of the window and the max, min and close buttons) .. i think i tried all possible window styles (third argument of CreateWindow()) but the window always had that titlebar. So my question is how do i get rid of that freaking titlebar? MfG, erzengel

There are more in CreateWindowEx()

Try (maybe) WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME

"Creates a window that has a double border; the window can, optionally, be created with a title bar by specifying the WS_CAPTION style in the dwStyle parameter."

sorry .. it still dosent''t work. I tried now also tried all of the WS_EX_ styles but still there is always this titlebar. Ok .. it''s empty with no Icons, no text and no buttons but i would want it completly gone .. any other ideas?

THX,

have you tried putting a NULL as dwStyle while using WS_EX_* ?

If not, well, I''m out of ideas.

yes i tried .. and it didn''t work as well. But i found another solution, i used a DialogBox instead of a window (i know that a DialogBox is just a special Window but hey if it works you won''t see complaining *g*) and heureka it worked ..

But thanks for the offered help.

Try a dwStyle = WS_POPUP, and a dwExStyle = WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME. It worked for me.

WS_POPUP by itself will give you a window with no border, and no title bar.

J.W.

Yeah. Windows by default are borderless - so just don''t specify anything anywhere. (Then add the stuff you want)
