Use IE create to create a Window without minimize and maximize buttons

[ds10025]

Morning

Is it possible to use IE create to open IE7 without minimize and maximize buttons?

Not directly, but _IEPropertyGet - you get a window handle (hwnd) and you can then manipulate it.

Try this example

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Global $hWnd
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Run('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff')
WinWaitActive("Windows Internet Explorer", "")
$hWnd = WinGetHandle ("Windows Internet Explorer", "")
$IEStyle = _GuiGetStyle($hWnd)
$NewStyle = $IEStyle[0] - $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX-$WS_MINIMIZEBOX
_GuiSetStyle($NewStyle, -1)

;===================================
; get default GUI styles
; returns a two-element array that containing the gui style information:
; $array[0] = style
; $array[1] = exStyle
func _GuiGetStyle($hWnd)
local $Style[2]
$res = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", -16)
$Style[0] = $res[0]
$res = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", -20)
$Style[1] = $res[0]
Return $Style
endfunc

;Set Gui Styles
func _GuiSetStyle($Style=-1,$ExStyle=-1)
Global $GWL_STYLE = -16
Global $GWL_EXSTYLE = -20
 if $Style=-1 then $Style=$WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_CAPTION+$WS_POPUP+$WS_SYSMENU
 $res = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $GWL_STYLE, "int", $Style)
 if $ExStyle<>-1 then $res = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $GWL_EXSTYLE, "int", $ExStyle)
 DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetWindowPos", "hwnd", $hWnd, "hwnd", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", 0x47)
endfunc

It's pity that new funcs GuiGetStyle and GuiSetStyle can't do the same

Hi

Thanks again for you replies.

I think this alone the same question:-

Will it be possible to use example scripts do something like

Loop=1

While Loop <>1 do

Run (Internet explorer.exe sw_max)

Switch

On-click minimize button Do

Run (Internet explorer.exe sw_max)

On-click exit button Do

Run (Internet explorer.exe sw_max)

end switch

End Loop

What I am aiming for, if the exit or minimize button is clicked, it just restart Internet explorer.exe with sw_max.

Also, can I hide the Windows XP taskbar?

Aslo, disable right mouse button click?

Is this for Internet cafe? If so there are other methods, I think.

You'd be better off writing a new GUI and adding the embedded IE box. That way you can just maximize it and not use the frame styles.

Yes, I'l trying to setup Internet KIOSK script.

You may also want to look at this (not everything you want, however):

_IEPropertySet($oIE, "theatermode")
