how can you remove a windows border?

[cryton2707]

Hi,

I'm wanting to completely remove a border from an executed program.. eg say Ive opened calc I'm wanting to get rid of the blue window border, the max, min, close buttons.

I've looked at the user32.dll call to disable these.. But its two slow for my use and simply disables the buttons and doesn't remove them.

My reason for this is that Ive been looking at the A3LGDIPlus.au3 and want to basically skin an existing application that Ive launched.

Thanks for any help

I think SetWindowLong API with GWL_STYLE and/or GWL_EXSTYLE will do the job for you.

Search forum for SetWindowLong examples ...

Thanks thanks for the pointer. Ive started looking at the stuff from PaulIA and Lod3n for making transparent gui's and xskin.
