Title without icon

[Yashied]

Prompt me please, how to create a GUI has no icon in the title? The GUI should not be $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW.

[AdmiralAlkex]

Here, no icon

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 200, 100, -1, -1, $WS_CAPTION)
GUISetState()

Do
    Sleep(20)
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Here, no icon

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 200, 100, -1, -1, $WS_CAPTION)
GUISetState()

Do
    Sleep(20)
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

I think he just wants to remove the icon and not the buttons.

[GEOSoft]

Use

GUISetIcon("shell32.dll", 50)

to replace the icon with a blank one.

Thanks for the reply, but please go back button.

Thanks, but this is not a good example.

Who has more ideas, please share them.

Could you show us a screenshot of a gui that looks like you want? Then it would be easier to know what you really need. Edited March 3, 2009 by AdmiralAlkex

Is this the MainGUI? If yes, think its not possible to set no Icon.

If its a GUI in GUI or however u wanna call it (yea iam a newb) use:

$2ndGUI = GUICreate("", 208, 370, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)

Thank you for your answer, but you do not carefully read the topic. I wrote at the beginning that the GUI should not include $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. I agree that the window was a children, but not $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. For proof that this is possible look at the standard Run dialog in Windows.

Maybe try to use the WinAPI. I look forward to your responses.

But how do you know that "Run" is not just an icon?

EDIT: well it obviously isn't so you can ignore that.

Here are the styles for the Run Dialog as shown in Resource Hacker.

DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_NOIDLEMSG | DS_CONTEXTHELP | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU

You will have to figure out the values for a couple of the constants.

As I pointed out in my first reply, setting the GUI icon to a blank icon does the trick. I used icon index 50 because I know that is a blank in XP. If you are using Vista then you may have to check for a different index.

The following does what you asked with the exception that the text in the title bar appears indented because of the blank icon.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
GUICreate('Test', 380, 400, -1, -1, BitOr($WS_POPUP, $WS_CAPTION,$WS_SYSMENU))
GUISetIcon("shell32.dll", -50)
GUISetState()

do
until GUIGetMsg() = -3

This might be more useful:

$frmAbout = GUICreate("", 255, 234, -1, -1, 0x94C800C4)
GUISetIcon("shell32.dll", 50)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case -3
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

No need for includes.

Seems to be an echo in here. Seems to be an echo in here.

Weird echo! My example doesn't use any includes

Ok, that's true, but I just thought that the technique of using a blank icon was what the post was really about and in that case GEOSoft has mentioned that more than once in this thread.

No offense intended.

No offense taken. I just added to Geo's code

i personaly think that toolwindow looks cool... but GUISETICON() will work also... lol and if you dont want that use WS_CAPTION and use a menuitem for the EXIT and minimize and maximize and reestore buttons...

@Yashied

a bit of advice.

you don't ask for promptness from random forum users volunteering their time to answer questions.

another method to set a blank GUI icon

GUISetIcon(@AutoItExe, -2) ; -2 is AutoIt blank icon

and to remove the icon...

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $GCL_HICONSM = -34
Global $GCL_HICON = -14

;$hGUI = GUICreate("No Icon", 300, 200, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME)
$hGUI = GUICreate("No Icon", 300, 200, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_SYSMENU), $WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME)

$hIcon = GetClassLong($hGUI, $GCL_HICON)
DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "DestroyIcon", "hwnd", $hIcon)
SetClassLong($hGUI, $GCL_HICON, 0)
SetClassLong($hGUI, $GCL_HICONSM, 0)
GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func GetClassLong($hWnd, $nIndex)
    Local $hResult = DllCall("user32.dll", "dword", "GetClassLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $nIndex)
    Return $hResult[0]
EndFunc

Func SetClassLong($hWnd, $nIndex, $dwNewLong)
    Local $hResult = DllCall("user32.dll", "dword", "SetClassLong", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $nIndex, "long", $dwNewLong)
    Return $hResult[0]
EndFunc

Excellent example rover, thanks.

In Yashied's defence, I think his use of the word "prompt" was an an interpretation of "advise" and not a request to be quick.
