Removing window border with SetWindowLong

[Shrek]

 GWL_STYLE [COLOR="#FF0000"]=[/COLOR] -[COLOR="#000000"]16[/COLOR]
 WS_BORDER [COLOR="#FF0000"]=[/COLOR] 0x00800000
 User32 [COLOR="#FF0000"]=[/COLOR] Library[COLOR="#FF0000"].[/COLOR]Load([COLOR="#800080"]"user32.dll"[/COLOR])
 [COLOR="#0000FF"]local[/COLOR] s [COLOR="#FF0000"]=[/COLOR] User32[COLOR="#FF0000"].[/COLOR]GetWindowLongA(whd[COLOR="#FF0000"],[/COLOR] GWL_STYLE)
 User32[COLOR="#FF0000"].[/COLOR]SetWindowLongA(whd[COLOR="#FF0000"],[/COLOR] GWL_STYLE[COLOR="#FF0000"],[/COLOR] s - WS_BORDER)

This should apparently work to remove the borders from objects like the ListBox and ListView that have the WS_BORDER style but it does not, does anyone know why?

Can better do so?

Its a bit better as my attempt messed up the window but yours does not remove the border but instead sets the window to look like the 3d border effect.

[slota]

I like the looks of this effect in WinXP. Another variant I don't know yet.

There is a few examples and they all appear to do the same thing but not knowing bit-wise isn't helping lol.

But in AMS is working poorly.

This should work. When you want to remove a flag from an int, just perform an AND with the NOT version of the flags.

user32 = Library.Load("user32.dll");

GWL_STYLE			= -16;
GWL_EXSTYLE			= -20;

WS_CAPTION			= 0xC00000;
WS_THICKFRAME		= 0x40000;
WS_MINIMIZE			= 0x20000000;
WS_MAXIMIZE			= 0x1000000;
WS_SYSMENU			= 0x80000;

WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME	= 0x1;
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE	= 0x200;
WS_EX_STATICEDGE 	= 0x20000;

SWP_FRAMECHANGED	= 0x20;
SWP_NOMOVE			= 0x2;
SWP_NOSIZE			= 0x1;
SWP_NOZORDER		= 0x4;
SWP_NOOWNERZORDER	= 0x200;

removeWindowBorder = function(hWnd)
	local style;
	
	style = user32.GetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);
	style = Bitwise.And(style, Bitwise.Not(Bitwise.Or(WS_CAPTION, WS_THICKFRAME, WS_MINIMIZE, WS_MAXIMIZE, WS_SYSMENU)));
	user32.SetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, style);
	
	style = user32.GetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE);
	style = Bitwise.And(style, Bitwise.Not(Bitwise.Or(WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, WS_EX_STATICEDGE)));
	user32.SetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, style);
	
	user32.SetWindowPos(hWnd, 0, 0,0,0,0, Bitwise.Or(SWP_FRAMECHANGED, SWP_NOMOVE, SWP_NOSIZE, SWP_NOZORDER, SWP_NOOWNERZORDER));
end;

thanks IP :yes

I'm ashamed that I did not know this...

Don't be, I had to Google Bitwise :lol
