hi,
it seems a Problem to use "visual Style" on MDI Child-Windows also with Xbase++ or HMG.
have found no Solution yet

Antonio,
the problem is the native style of windows that is, if I use Win 10 differently from win 7 or win xp the main and child windows must have the graphics and the style of Win10, it is not a graphic Skin that could weigh down the application making it unmanageable.
It seems strange fwh takes the style of win10 for the main window and then for the other windows including the Tdialog class it takes the previous style (win7)
This has not been the case in the past
It was the policy of Fwh since its creation .. an application created with fwh takes the windows engine and style by making windows create alo itself and not as Vb or Delphi or FoxPro which need to load Dynamic Library in memory which are ultra heavy first to load the application
Do you need to change anything in the Windows class? what then is that mother of all classes?

oDlg:bStart := {|| oSkin := Skin( oDlg, "Blue_skin" ) }
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg center

hi Silvio,
you can use these DLL Function to "remove" Minimize and/or Maximize Button on upper right
not sure if FiveWin have these Constante of "winuser.ch"
