bcnx Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Hi all, I successfully managed to disable the minimize, maximize and close buttons on a Notepad instance by means of code I found on this forum. However, when I tried to apply this on a .Net application, even after successfully identifying the window's name and class, the buttons remain active. Is there a way to get this working for a .Net application? Can it also be forced to startup fully maximized? Thank! BC
careca Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Maybe GUISetState @SW_MAXIMIZE. Else winmove to @desktopwidth/height As for the disabling of buttons, i don't know, i can't remember if i have a .net application to test.

careca Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 If you point me to a application i can download and test it would help. What was the result on the winmove?

bcnx Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 The application I am looking at is part of a commercial software suite to manage desktops (Novell Zenworks) and is not downloadable as such. I can send you the agent install exe, but it is around 500 MB. I have not tried the winmove yet, as the disabling of the buttons is a prerequisite: if that does not work, the maximizing is not needed anymore. Cheers, BC
careca Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) What was the code you used that worked? i mean in the normal windows.

bcnx Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 I think it was the following, but I need to doublecheck later on my tablet, BC
careca Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I managed to disable the close button in that application you pointed me to, the "File Shredder" with the code in the page you pointed out. ; Original script: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/100125-disable-close-button/#entry716490 ; USer32.dll functions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms647985(v=vs.85).aspx #include <GuiMenu.au3> ;Run("Notepad") WinWait("File Shredder - Free to use") $handle = WinGetHandle("File Shredder - Free to use") ConsoleWrite('+ Window Handle: ' & $handle & @CRLF) DisableButton($handle, $SC_CLOSE) ;~ EnableButton($handle, $SC_CLOSE) DisableButton($handle, $SC_MAXIMIZE) DisableButton($handle, $SC_RESTORE) DisableButton($handle, $SC_MOVE) Func DisableButton($hWnd, $iButton) $hSysMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetSystemMenu($hWnd, 0) _GUICtrlMenu_RemoveMenu($hSysMenu, $iButton, False) _GUICtrlMenu_DrawMenuBar($hWnd) EndFunc Func EnableButton($hWnd, $iButton) $hSysMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetSystemMenu($hWnd, 1) _GUICtrlMenu_RemoveMenu($hSysMenu, $iButton, False) _GUICtrlMenu_DrawMenuBar($hWnd) EndFunc Spoiler Renamer - Rename files and folders, remove portions of text from the filename etc. GPO Tool - Export/Import Group policy settings.

bcnx Posted September 26, 2017 Author Posted September 26, 2017 That is excellent! I will try this as soon as I can with the other application, should work. Thanks a million, BC
bcnx Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 Hi, I was able to test this today (sorry for the delay) with our specific application and the script does not seem to work with this app. I replaced the Window Title info with the new data, but still no go. Will try some things to get this going, thx, BC
bcnx Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 OK, did some research and the problem is simple: I choose File Shredder as a test application because the Sourceforge page mentioned it was also built on .Net 4.5, plus the screenshots showed the same style of windows buttons as our application. However, when launching File Shredder on my machine, it seems that the buttons follow the same standard for the buttons as Notepad does. They are not the same as the screenshots. That is probably the reason why the code for Notepad works as well for File Shredder, but not for our application. If anyone knows how to handle these buttons, please share, cheers! BC
careca Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Any chance you can move the window so that the close, min, maximize are off screen? Maybe you could move the window up a bit, and keep a script running to keep the window there, or instead of just moving, maybe resizing in such a way that the buttons are hidden.
