Hi,
How do I remove the icon that appears in the caption bar on the window? I tried using the SETICON but the problem is PureBasic doesn't recognize ICON_SMALL or ICON_LARGE

#ICON_SMALL = 0
#ICON_BIG = 1

Ok, I got it to work. But there is a empty space left where the icon was.. Isn't there a way to completely remove it

You mean you want to HIDE the fact that your program is running from the user?

@rook, stop being so paranoid.
I think he just wants to remove the icon from the topleft of a window, nothing to do with the taskbar icon.

nopes. just the icon.
@Chirantha
the icon resp the empty space is the place for the Window_SystemMenu,
this little menu that let's you iconfy, close, etc. your window.
to eliminate this, you'll have to leave out the #PB_Window_SystemMenu
Flag when opening the window.
Problem is: you need the SystemMenu to have the Min/Max/Close Buttons.
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 240,120, "No System Menu", #PB_Window_TitleBar)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
ButtonGadget(0,224,0,16,16,"X")
TextGadget(1,16,32,160,20,"No Control-Buttons either")
Repeat
EvID = WaitWindowEvent()
EvGd = EventGadget()
If EvID = #PB_Event_Gadget
If EvGd = 0
Quit = 1
EndIf
EndIf
Until Quit = 1

Not necessarily
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0,0,0,320,240,"No Window Icon", #WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | #WS_VISIBLE | 1)
SetWindowLong_(WindowID(0),#GWL_EXSTYLE,#WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME)
HideWindow(0,0)
While WaitWindowEvent() ! #PB_Event_CloseWindow : Wend

Oy! Dah API-Slayer strikes back...
I knew there should be something like that.
DLGMODALFRAME
is very, very special.
In my opinion, you should avoid such trickery pickery as often as possible.
