By the way, I could sworn there was a style that gave you a completely border-free window (not even the 3-d raised edge); but I can't find it now...

$WS_POPUP = 0x80000000

GuiCreate("foo",100,100,100,100, $WS_POPUP)

GuiShow()

GuiWaitClose()

I think styles only add things, I can't think of any off the top of my head that actually take things away. I'm sure that if (And I probably am) wrong about that, somebody will point out 421 examples.

I can't get away from this error ?

In my code of a stopped project(for now): PixelFinder, I used this values:

Sorry, for the "number magic"(Hex. values). (For this moment, I'm not sure what values(styles mixed) are...)

But, test it...

Yeah, the default styles give a bordered window but if you specify you own style then you are starting from 0 again so you can get the right style to work. I think CS posted the code above.

So what changed the style to no borders ? this (0x80080040)?

[bobheart]

never mind I just use that code and it work great .. thank you .

[CyberSlug]

So what changed the style to no borders ? this (0x80080040)?

$WS_POPUP = 0x80000000

I had thought that 0x0 would erase all styles, but I think the AutoIt-GUI code is setup to ignore a style == 0 and still provide the defaults.

I just used this 0x80080040 and it gave me what I wanted to do .

Only thing you can't drag it around but I want it at the top so thats fine .

[Hooch]

I want a similar window but it would be nice if I could drag it, possible?

Oh and while I am here, can you "dock" a window to say the bottom of the screen? I searched but didn't return too muchie.

Ok, I guess my question was , is it possible to allow a window to be draggable without it's title bar. The popup window is sexy but undraggable.

[CyberSlug]

Click on the window background, then mouse the mouse, then click again

Notes: There is probably a better way to handle the overlapping controls so that the screen repaints the buttons on top of the background label......

Not bad not bad at all .

[Hooch]

Ah nice, well done.

[LeviStevens]

Do you have an updated example of this? The above code doesn't work in the latest AutoIt versions.

[BrewManNH]

Necroing a 9 year old thread? Seriously?

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Example()

; example 1
Func Example()
    Local $msg

    GUICreate("My GUI", Default, Default, Default, Default, $WS_POPUP) ; $WS_POPUP makes a GUI with no borders
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

    ; Run the GUI until user hits esc.
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
