Button border remove

[hypheni]

i want to remove DialogBox Button's border without OwnerDraw. Im using Win32 not MFC. Please guide how to do it.

You want to remove the border of the buttons on a dialog box? Or you want to remove the border of a dialog box? I'm a little bit confused here.

Without owner draw, you could try to use the BS_FLAT style, but it might still have a border.

You didn't answer on this question:

You want to remove the border of the buttons on a dialog box? Or you want to remove the border of a dialog box? I'm a little bit confused here.

So, again:
to remove border of the button in dialogbox
or
to remove border of the dialogbox?

Removing the border from button may not serve your purpose on all Windows OSs. Like in Windows 98/2000, buttons have different form, in Windows XP, it was changed, and in Vista it is further revamped. You should not confuse the end user. Your UI should be consistent as per the user's OS and settings.

And what you want to achieve by removing the border? You don't want border, place a 'static' control (which doesn't have border). Handle the click events. Yes, that's absurd! Depends on your perspective, if more absurd than your idea!

Okay let me explain my story. I'm creating a win xp exe. also can execute on other os but its particularly for xp. and im using blue background picture instead of default white or gray color of dialog box. so after creating the buttons on that blue background the light borders comes to view around the buttons. so i wanna remove them. hope now u guys dont have any confusions why im trying to do this..

Then you must use owner drawing. Use DrawFrameControl in your owner-draw code, to draw required control' parts in standard format.

hope now u guys dont have anymore confusion why im trying to do this..

No one is confused here. No one is dying here to help you. Consider your language next time.

Okay. Can you post a sample win32 code for creating an owner draw button looking exactly like normal BS_PUSHBUTTON.

After playing around a bit (I am very new to Visual C++ and Windows in general), I see that setting the borders and padding to zero work just fine *IF* you set the Flat Style to Flat instead of the default, Standard.
