Minimum Window size when using styles?

[Hooch]

EDITED FOR CLARITY

When I use this code I get a window that is 70px wide.

GUICreate("myProg", 70, 354, 200, 200)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

while 1 = 1 
   
Wend

However when I use this code or any varient of styles I get a window twice the width

$WS_CAPTION = 0x00C00000
$WS_EX_TOPMOST = 0x00000008
$style = BitOr($WS_CAPTION,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)

GUICreate ( "myProg", 70, 354, 200 , 200 , $style)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

while 1 = 1 
  
Wend

The topmost style is an extended style and should be placed last.

eg:

$WS_CAPTION = 0x00C00000
$WS_EX_TOPMOST = 0x00000008

GUICreate ( "myProg", 70, 354, 200 , 200, $WS_CAPTION, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

while 1 = 1 
 
Wend

Your previous post was correct you only used the Hex values..

You have now BitOr-ed the Style and ExStyle together... ( like SlimShady mentiones in his post)

I had a quick look if there is a minimum window size for the WS_CAPTION style but couldn't find any .. maybe others know ??

[Hooch]

I usually just use the numbers anyway but even the code that Slim posted the width of the resulting window is still far more than the 70px it is supposed to be. Remove the styles and the window is at the correct width.

Ok, here is some code, when you run it the button should be the same width as the window. For me it is not.

GUICreate ( "myProg", 70, 354, 200 , 200, 0x00C00000, 0x00000008)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$GUI_CLOSE = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 0, 331, 70, 22)

while 1 = 1 
   
   $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $MSG = $GUI_CLOSE         
         
   EndSelect
      
Wend

@Hooch: that is normal

You have a window with a caption AND a 'possible' maximize/minimize-box-placeholder...

[Jos]

this does work:

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("myProg", 70, 354, 200, 200, BitOr($WS_CAPTION,$WS_POPUP), $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$GUI_CLOSE = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 0, 331, 70, 22)
While 1 = 1 
   $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
   Case $MSG = $GUI_CLOSE
      exit
   EndSelect 
Wend

Oh ok well that is different behavior than 102 which is to be expected.

What I am trying for is a window that has no min/max or close buttons on the title bar, just the Title text and still only be 70px wide.

0x00C00000 is the only style I saw that gave that type of a title bar.
