mfc >> Switch maximize button in a title bar of a dialog box off

by alexanderkricke » Wed, 03 Dec 2003 04:38:29 GMT

Hello,


is there a possiblity to switch the maximize/ normalize button in a
title bar of a dialog box off (and on) by using a method during
program operation instead of not setting the SW_MAXIMIZEBOX option in
Create ? What is the Windows-Message if a user presses the
maximize button ? Is it possible to overwrite the message handler ?
Which method is it ?

Thanks in advance for your help.


Greeting

Alex

Never done this with WS_MAXIMIZEBOX(not WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) but I would look at
both Win32/CWnd versions of ModifyStyle() or SetWindowLong() to change(this
sytle should be dynamically changable) many window styles...

I also never did this (did anyone, ever? lol) but
ModifyStyle() sounds right.

But you may also need to call:
SetWindowPos(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED |
SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE);

to make sure it takes effect...

button in a
method during
SW_MAXIMIZEBOX...
but I would look at
() to change(this

7. Toggle SDI title-bar off and on 

With help from this newsgroup, I was able to get the titlebar of a SDI app 
to not show up (thanks DC). Now I'm trying to figure out how to "toggle" 
back and forth.

I want to allow the user to be able to re-activate the titlebar so they can 
drag it to another locaton with the TitleBar. Then they can deactivate the 
titlebar (and it will be "frozen" in position, although resizable).

The LoadFrame function can cause the titlebar to be invisibile with the 
following call:
ModifyStyle(WS_CAPTION, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

But it seems "too late" to call LoadFrame again to re-activate the titlebar 
... nothing happens. Should I destroy the frame and recreate? If so, how?

Kind of a related question: I have minimal experience with MDI apps. Is 
there a way to toggle the child frame's titlebar on and off? If so, how?
