AVI Window w/o Titlebar?

[Marcus]

Hello folks.

Just wondering how to create a thinly bordered AVI window without a titlebar.

Here's what I've tried:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("", 150, 210)
$AVI = GUICtrlCreateAvi("MyAVI.avi", -1, -1, -1, "", "", $WS_BORDER)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUICtrlSetState($AVI, 1)

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
Wend

Exit

I thought that by calling $WS_BORDER explicitly I'd be able to override the defaults which include a titlebar.

Any ideas???

Thanks a bunch

@Larry:

Thanks for the tip.

Here's what I surmise is the correct syntax:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("", 150, 210)
$X = BitOr($WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER)
$AVI = GUICtrlCreateAvi("MyAVI.avi", -1, -1, -1, "", "", $X)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUICtrlSetState($AVI, 1)

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
Wend

Exit

However, when I run this all that I wind up with is one blank unmovable borderless window in the top left corner of the screen, and one blank window with titlebar which sits in the middle

WhadidI miss here???

@Valuater:

Thanks for the link

Locked the crank on that one ... no soup for me.

Any other ideas???

Thanks again.

Well . . .

It seems that the sound of crickets can be heard in the hall...

I think I sorted this matter out for myself -- rather simple, after all.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$X = BitOr($WS_POPUP, $WS_BORDER)
GUICreate("", 150, 210, -1, -1, $X, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$AVI = GUICtrlCreateAvi("MyAVI.avi", -1, -1, -1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUICtrlSetState($AVI, 1)

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
Wend

Exit

Larry's advice was good, but he simply didn't leave enough detail to fully set the context (BitOr() is referred to in both the GUICtrlCreateAvi() and the GUICreate() methods).

Sorry to have stumped everyone else...

Have a great day, all!
