Hook window and modify controlbox?

[Macgoober]

Hey all,

I'm trying to hook onto a console application and remove the controlbox buttons, minimize, maximize ect.

using FindWindow to grab the application isn't a problem but how would I modify the form properties to set ControlBox = false; ?

Any ideas are much appreciated!

Thanks,

- Mac

Well there is not much you can do if it is a standard win32 console - you cant remove the sysmenu ( not 100% sure on this but almost :P ). The best thing you can do is disable the buttons this way:

//assuming wnd is the HWND you have from FindWindow
HMENU menu = GetSystemMenu(wnd,FALSE);
DeleteMenu(menu,SC_MINIMIZE,MF_BYCOMMAND);
DeleteMenu(menu,SC_MAXIMIZE,MF_BYCOMMAND);
DeleteMenu(menu,SC_CLOSE,MF_BYCOMMAND);
DrawMenuBar(wnd);
