Removing minimise and maximize button - (Moved)

[Tobyg]

I would like to remove those buttons as I am trying for a project in my class to make the 'best' visitor using windows server and so far I have use the custom user interface with edge which gives me a just a edge window. No taskbar or anything but that means if they minimise edge just disappears until you alt-tab to get it back in a hypothetical situation I can't expect everyone to know alt tab, if there is away to remove those buttons that would great.

 

I did find some autoitscript scripts on the forums that kind of work but I can't get them to work for edge.

$gui = GUICreate("Title", 400, 300, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU))

or

$gui = GUICreate("Title", 400, 300, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU), $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)

I am a real newbie at autoitscript so I not entirely sure what to with this as looking through that it doesn't mention edge at all.

So you want to disable Minimize/Maximize buttons in EXTERNAL (not AutoIt) application?

[Nine]

How about Send("{F11}") ?

[Zedna]

This is working:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

$hWnd = WinGetHandle('Title')
If IsHWnd($hWnd) Then
    _WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_VISIBLE))
EndIf

This is more general, but doesn' work:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

$hWnd = WinGetHandle('Title')
If IsHWnd($hWnd) Then
    $style = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE)
    _WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, BitAND($style, BitNOT($WS_MINIMIZE), BitNOT($WS_MAXIMIZE)))
EndIf

Is there a way to use the exe instead of the title of the edge (Microsoft browser, external application) so using something like

ProcessList ( ["name"] )

and pull the exe from that maybe?

I am really confused on what do with that information.

[Tobyg]

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiMenu.au3>

$windows = WinList()

For $i =1 To $windows[0][0]
    $windowState =  WinGetState($windows[$i][1])
    $isVisible = BitAND($windowState,2) = 2
    If $windows[$i][0] = '' Or not $isVisible Then ContinueLoop

    $h = $windows[$i][1]
    $iOldStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($h, $GWL_STYLE)
    $iNewStyle = BitXOr($iOldStyle, $WS_SYSMENU)
    _WinAPI_SetWindowLong($h, $GWL_STYLE, $iNewStyle)
    _WinAPI_ShowWindow($h, @SW_SHOW)
Next

I found this one online but it doesn't work for Microsoft edge (browser)

You can't remove those buttons from Edge.  Only way is to use F11.

Is there a way to force this so it can't be disabled and when you are in f11 mode thee is no url bar so could this be turned on?

 

[Nine]

Nope, what you see is what you get.  Only other way is to embed Edge into a GUI, then you can do whatever you want...

Embedding edge might be exactly what I want, do you have any idea on how to do this

[Nine]

Good luck !

No I don't think it does since I don't have touch supported hardware.
