I want nude windows! Completely nude! (No titlebar, no border, no nothing!)

Hey all
ip it nude .

You can use the WS_POPUP flag with CreateWindowEx()

I don't know if you can do this if you can do it after the CreateWindowEx() call, but you can try SetWIndowLongPtr() don't know if that will work though.

So I am using WS_POPUP, but it still seems to have a 3D border. Does anyone know how to remove this?

Thanks!

you could just make a dialog with everything you want (or in this case everything you dont want) and call it from your program

I'm really unclear on your solution Josh. I really need to have Window HWNDs, and not just dialogs for the rest of my app.

well in that case, instead of WS_POPUP, have you tried WS_CHILD without WS_BORDER?

I have made owner-drawn windows without anything at all. Just the client area, and it was, like i said, owner drawn, so when the window appears, you dont see it, because it just reserves space on desktop, meaning nothing will draw thru it, and you paint the client area yourself. I used the CreateWindowEx function for it. Not child window, but application window. You have to play around with styles and extended styles ;) Good luck. The reason I cannot post example now, is because i dont have the build environment and the compiler installed..
