PureBasic Forums - English

Well, this looks like they have done all the work for you already:

Alternatively, it might be easier just to create a messagebox from a window, using the style I just showed you.

Thank you! That was what I needed. I traced the BlitzMax window class back and found that it was actively loading the default exe icon. I commented that out and the setting took effect.

I searched for the answer to this for a long time. The PB forum is one of the best places to find people who know ...

Why don't ask on blitzmax forum? Sounds more logic to me.
I am, but they don't have any idea why it doesn't work. I am guessing that PB windows have an owner-drawn caption, or have some setting they are created with that allows what I want, because it obviously isn't just a matter of window style ...

The point is to make a window with a full-size titlebar, "X" close button, but no icon on the top-left. This can be used for a custom messagebox, an options window, or whatever else you want. As demonstrated, it works perfectly in PureBasic, and I am trying to figure out why it doesn't work in ...

I am attempting to create a window with no titlebar icon in BlitzMax, like this. This is a window, not an actual messagebox dialog:
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/MessageBoxChk/MessageBoxChk.gif

Apparently it can be done in PureBasic with the following code:
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 240, 100 ...

Sonofa! That's not in API-Guide 3.7!

Okay, so CreateMenu_(VOID).

I don't see a parameter for hwnd, so how do I attach this to the window?

Ooohhhh....Setmenu(). Another command missing from API-Guide.

Time to uninstall API-Guide.

I would like to add menus to my windows using the API commands, instead of PureBasic commands. API lets you insert menus anywhere, and you can remove menu items.

I found some examples that modify and add to existing menus. I don't know how to create the window menu to start with. Getmenu_() only ...

I am trying this in my resizing callback code:
SendMessage_(hwnd,#WM_SETREDRAW,0,0)
;Resize stuff here
SendMessage_(hwnd,#WM_SETREDRAW,1,0)

Now I need to redraw the window. How do I do this?

i figured it out

I am creating the window with these flags:
#PB_Window_SystemMenu+#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget+#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget+#PB_Window_SizeGadget

I am stoopid.

This crashes on the MessageRequester() command.

Procedure cb(WindowID, Message, wParam, lParam)
Result = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
;
; you code here
;
ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure

OpenWindow(0,200,200,400,300,0,"")
SetWindowCallback(@cb)
MessageRequester("","Hello.")

How do I get rid of the horizontal scrollbar that appears when I create a resizable window with minimize and maximize buttons?

Here it is. Write this one down somewhere:

Global *POINTER_GetLongPathName

lib=OpenLibrary(#PB_ANY,"kernel32.dll")
*POINTER_GetLongPathName=IsFunction(lib,"GetLongPathNameA")

Procedure GetLongPathName_(file$,temp,size)
ProcedureReturn CallFunctionFast(*POINTER_GetLongPathName,file$,temp,size ...

Using BlitzPlus, I was able to get it with the WinAPI command GetLongPathName (kernel32). This command is not in PureBasic's API libs. How can I add it?
