Overlapped window

[Asimov]

Hi all,

I have been messing with the API again. The problem with the createwindow at the moment is that I want to get rid of the minimise and maximise buttons, but when I do this I get a black border around my screen.

Here is the new code

Code: Select all

RECT wr;
	wr.left = 650;
	wr.right = 800 + wr.left;
	wr.top = 150;
	wr.bottom = 600 + wr.top;
	AdjustWindowRect( &wr,WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,FALSE );
    HWND hWnd = CreateWindowW( L"Chili DirectX Framework Window",L"Missile Command By T.R.Williams (Asimov)",
                               WS_OVERLAPPED|WS_SYSMENU ,wr.left,wr.top,wr.right-wr.left,wr.bottom-wr.top,
                              NULL,NULL,wc.hInstance,NULL );

I have removed WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW with what you see.
Now this works but leaves a border on the bottom and right hand side. I have tried changing dimensions in the Rect, but it then just crashes.

Any ideas?

Dunno why it happens in this case, but with a borderless window I had to reduce the width by 10 and height by 30, so maybe here you too need to reduce by, say, 10 width and height, just try what works best.

Hi Lux,

I tried that and it crashes, as the window has to be 800 * 600 or it crashes. Will play with this for a bit and see if I can get it satisfactory.

It happens because the function that calculates the window size doesn't work with some window class types. I actually made something that got around this problem, but I forget what it is.

Hi Chilli,

You are right. It doesn't even work with WS_OVERLAPPED properly. So instead I have been looking for a way to ghost or disable it instead. I haven't found the answer yet, but I am sure there heh heh

Found it. Try this:

Code: Select all

	AdjustWindowRect( &wr,WS_CAPTION | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_SYSMENU,FALSE );
    HWND hWnd = CreateWindowW( L"Chili DirectX Framework Window",L"Chili DirectX Framework",
                              WS_CAPTION | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_SYSMENU,wr.left,wr.top,wr.right-wr.left,wr.bottom-wr.top,
                              NULL,NULL,wc.hInstance,NULL );

Hi Chilli,

Great that works. I tried something along those lines last night, and it crashed a bit LOL, but this works. Cool. I really want to finish this game now, because the next game will hopefully be full screen and networkable, in my dreams LOL
