It would be nice to have a ToolWindow within the Windows lib.
(small window title and no button in the taskbar)
Don't know actually if this is Windows specific, but it would be nice to see it anyway.


Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.

Now with the additional ParentWindowID flag at the OpenWindow command,
an additional #ToolWindowStyle would have been great.

But nobody listen to me...

BTW
I add this request again, because if I change the WindowStyle later with:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 200, 200, 320,240, #PB_Window_SystemMenu ,"Main Window") And CreateGadgetList(WindowID()) : Else : End : EndIf

If OpenWindow(1, 400, 208, 320,240, #PB_Window_SystemMenu ,"Child Window",WindowID(0)) : Else : EndIf
SetWindowLong_(WindowID(1),#GWL_EXSTYLE,GetWindowLong_(WindowID(1),#GWL_EXSTYLE) | #WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
ResizeWindow(320, 232)

Repeat
  EventID.l = WaitWindowEvent()
Until EventID = #PB_EventCloseWindow

End

the InnerSize is not correct anymore and it has to be corrected afterwards with ResizeWindow.
Besides if you don't do a Resize, than the style is changed only if you move the ChildWindow with the mouse.
