window styles

[Natter]

Hi all !
I want set styles for window as WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE. I found this style in Borland\BCC55\Include\winuser.h
How I can use this file in my programm

[Antonio Linares]

Natter,

You may use the clause STYLE:

DEFINE WINDOW oWnd STYLE nOr( WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE )

[Antonio Linares]

Better do it this way, as it is an extended style:

#define GWL_EXSTYLE (-20)

SetWindowLong( oWnd:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE )

or

SetWindowLong( oWnd:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, nOr( GetWindowLong( oWnd:hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE ), WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE ) )

to keep the previous extended style too

[Natter]

Thank, Antonio ! I do it. But I get error

"Variable WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE not found"

I must insert #INCLUDE *.ch to my program for description this WS_EX_
variables, but I found this in Winuser.h only

You have found the proper solution. This manifest constant is a Windows API value.

[Natter]

All right. How I can compiling Winuser.h together my programm.

[James Bott]

Put this at the top of your PRG.

#include "winuser.h"

[Natter]

#include "winuser.h" - it's not work. Created file My.h with WS_EX_ variables. That is work !

Thank all !

Natter,


I used this

...
ON INIT ownd:oWndClient:ClientEdge()

..

[Natter]

Thank, Fraxzi !
I work with external applications and change styles their different windows interactive.

Natter,

>#include "winuser.h" - it's not work.

This was probably because your PATH needed to be SET so the compiler could find it. Or, you could copy winuser.h to the application source directory.

James

[Natter]

PATH is right
Well, I copy winuser.h to the application source directory

set #include "winuser.h" to my programm and compiled

see file Clip.log

winuser.h(11) Error E0024 Error in #pragma
winuser.h(38) Error F0028 Can't open #include file: 'stdarg.h'

and etc.

[James Bott]

Natter,

OK, it seems like it also wants another file.

Try this instead. Instead of putting #include "winuser.h" do this:

#define WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE 512

That should solve it.

James
